I also printed the list of codes from page 1 of this forum but it lists only 2 digit codes whats the deal between the 2 digit codes and the P 4 digit codes.

Thanks
P-4 digit codes are OBD11 codes.
Your code is for a EVAP emissions fail test code.
Some cry PCM systems will give both OBD1 2 digit and 4 digit OBD11 or manf. spefic codes.depending on the test method.
The 4 digit OBD11 codes give better detail of the problem.

After you get the code get some good repair info on the repair flow chart for the code.
A good factory repair manual or

Will take you threw the repair procedure for what ever code you have.
