Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Can someone tell me what Code P0126 is

[BigDan]

My check engine light has been coming on a lot for the past 2 months when ever I am going up a hill or under a load at 80+mph. The engine power surges and I loose boost, and then the engine light comes on. I had my mechanic take a look at it and his book didnt say anything about that code, he said it was probably a manfacture's code and I would have to take it into the dealer to find the problem.

Im stock except an EZ



Thanks BigDan

fuel pump failure code, looks like you will be having a new vp. it might just be a lift pump. someone else chime in and tell me if i am right.

0216 - injection pump timing failure = dead or dieing VP44 = $$$



0126 - Insufficient Coolant temperature for Stable Operation



Your symptoms indicate a fueling issue. Your code says a bad thermostat. Thermostat is cheap, so replace that first.
