It will do that 3x, then it will start giving codes in that same format - series of flashes, short delay, series of flashes, then a longer delay. We need to find out what is causing that immediate light to come on.

Meanwhile, change fuel filter. I found out mine was very sensitive to any restriction at all. That seems to have cleared up with upgrading to the EP381 pumps.

1 - change fuel filter
2 - get codes
3 - fix codes
4 - set timing and minimum idle speed

I did that and made a video (on you tube) https://youtu.be/gwxRZxo7S5A
6 months ago I changed the fuel filter, intank fuel pumps and sending units (Spectra), and I installed fuel tanks (in excellent conditions)
