Where can I find an error code listing for an 88? My check engine light came on and I diagnosed it with a paperclip. I have an error code of 24.
Obd 1 is easy and applies to ALL Js with this.Your code 24 is vehicle speed sensor (vss) circuit. Quote from manual to explain --- A fault in this circuit should be indicated only while the vehicle is IN motion.Disregard code 24 if set when drive wheels are NOT turning.Check connections a the ecm ,check the TPS setting. Now my two cents disconnect the battery for a minute or two.This will clear the code.Next you can CHECK your tps with a multimeter to ensure it is operating properly.IF you do not know how check out this site
http://www.wellsve.com You can go to the archives newletters for 1997-2000 and find the segment for TPS. However I have another link here on the j to check the TPS

If you go to Half price books(or another used book store), you can get the Haynes repair manual for that car. It has a list of the codes specific to the vehicle and their meanings. And the books are much cheaper used than new.
