Engine codes (history)
i was wondering ... if you have codes stored on your computer.. codes in history, not in current... will this in ANY way effect your car...

i couldnt agree with you more... but the guy at canadian tire said it would.. he said you must clear codes or the problem will persist.. i disagreed with him, and insisted it wont... and he argued how im not a class A mechanic.. this guy is the boss in the garage part of canadian tire... and isnt code 15 the o2 sensor on a mazda.
something else i was curious about... does anyone know how long codes in history will stay stored on the computer... whether its obd2 or the style b4 that

Well... here's proof.
Car spat out a code 30. Split air solenoid valve was cut. Made a new male -> female adapter and plugged it back in. Valve opens fine. I don't know if it still has the code or not, but I never cleared codes.
S4s dont even store codes. Once you turn off the car... that's it.
