See the FAQ for instructions in how to pull error codes from the ECU, then check out the part that is causing the error.

More then likely it is a bad metering oil pump.

do like Aaron said to pull up error codes if you have any problems pulling codes you may have to resolder the connection on the bulb. I did and the problem was an oil metering pump on my 91, so i went to digitaltuning.com ordered a chip for my ecu and removed pump and now premix my fuel with 2 stroke oil. have had no problems and cost under $200 to fix, also you can use the search tool to get info on any questions you may have, it helps me all the time

But if you don't want to premix (it's largely unnecessary and a pain in the ***) then you can find used metering oil pumps on eBay and around the forum.

Or, it could just be something else.
