I have a light on in the cluster, I think it's the "emission systems" light according to the manual, but it looks like a check engine light to me. Either way, I noticed that it flashes a different number of times repeatedly as if it's some sort of code, so i decided to count the flashes. The truck Idles roughly and RPMs fluctuate all over the place from 600 to 1000 when not in gear. starts out rough from a stop too. this all began just as I was backing over a snow bank to get out of a driveway and had to rev a little bit to get over the snow. here's the code I got. someone please help.

29 . 32 . 15 . 14 . 62 . 30 . 14 . 29 . 75 . 73 . 29 . 29 . 14 . 29 . 14 . 29 . 44 . 28 . 29 . 15 . 73 . 14 . 29 . 14 . 42 . 15 . 29 . 29 . 29 . 29 . 26 . 16 . 30 . 73 . 63 . 14 . 16 . 68 . 64 . 9 . 48 . 16 . 42 . 156 . 37 . 260+ (stopped counting after 260)

thanks in advance

The OBD2 system does not flash in code like the OBD1 did. If you have a flash it does mean the issue is rather urgent. The fastest way to check is with a Code reader. Go to an auto parts store and have them read the code and then you can google the result and see what needs to happen.

The flasling check engine light indicates that there is a misfire going on with your engine, and reccomends that it be taken to the dealer ASAP.
