Need help with a code

firedawg015 · 07-11-2008, 05:35 PM

The check engine light has not come on, but my truck seems to run crappy when its really humid out - dies alot when idling, backing up at an idle, or pulling up to a stop sign. I decided to check for codes just out of curiosity and I got code 355. I checked the list in the tech articles and it said #5 ignition coil??? Anybody know what this means?

I cycled the key on and off 3 times. After this the light went off for a moment then came on and flashed 3 times then 5 times then 5 times again with a pause in between each time.

Could be wrong but thought that codes with the key off/on trick were two digit numbers.
Know that 55 means end of test.

I wondered if it may mean something like that since the light hasn't actually been coming on. I remember a car that I had one time that blinked 3 times at the beginning to indicate start of test.
So does anyone else have any problems with their engine running bad on really humid days? Seems to be that's the only time it does it. Never had a problem on cool days or during the winter.
