Hi Mac, I am not sure what to make of "see the car", but it could mean that the engine controller does not see the body controller. Check to make sure the body controller is plugged in well. ????
I have a thought about the diagnostic codes. If you do the key on-off-on-off-on and count the blinks of the check engine light, it should count out the same codes you noted below (in fact, this might be the method you used). I am willing to bet that you have 2 codes, not three numbers: 12 - this is the normal start code. It does not indicate any problems, and you will always get it (at least I have always gotten it) 55 - this is End Of Codes. If these are the two codes you get, it means that the computer does not see any faults. If this is really the case, then it's time to back up and do some more basic checking (do you have gas? spark? timing set right?). I don't know if any of this was helpful, but I hope it was. Best of luck! On 12/29/2012 4:33 PM, Mac Barksdale wrote: > Help Please.. > > I am trying to get my 88 Dodge Shelby Daytona running. hooked up an > electronic diagnostic apparatus to it.
