Re: Flashing SES... Help DO NOT SPRAY IT AGAIN!!!!
I had that problem once and it was 3 plugs melted. It means misfire and it will kill the motor. Pull all your plugs and inspect.

Re: Flashing SES... Help What plugs are you using? I hope its not the stock ones. You need to get you a set of NGK TR6'S. Spraying on stock plugs is a NO NO. <img border="0" alt="[kaboom]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_bomb.gif" />

GM's offical line on flashing SES is to park it and have it towed in. Of course, since you get it only when spraying, you obviously have isolated the problem.

Re: Flashing SES... Help flashing SES light can/will flash without setting a code, its a "multiple misfire on a specfic cylnder(or a couple diffrent ones)OR a catastofic emisions problem. ( read the last one in a manual somewhere) its mostly a misfire when it happens tho......if it only happens when you spray its most likey due to insufencent fuel or your blowing out the spark( i doubt that one) it happened to me a few time, changed plugs and went on my way, sprayed again and now im replacing rings, so i say CHECK EVERYTHING.... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />
Re: Flashing SES... Help I about sh*t this weekend. Went to spray a 100 wet shot, and the car immediately fell on it's face simultaneously tripping the flash of death. A 1/4 mile seems so long witha flashing SES. As soon as I rolled around the turn off, I figured it out. I left the bottle closed, flooding the engine with excess gas, ooooops. Good thing that's all it was. Bad thing it was during the fastest street car shootout in Hawaii, racing a teammate in brackets....doh!!!!
