Question
QUESTION: My 93 Deville is acting up. It's running really low and stalling frequently. the error codes from the dash were: e41, f46, f47, and ff47. any help would be greatly appreciated. I would like to try and fix this myself. thanks.

ANSWER: First you need to CLEAR the codes from the computer and see which ones come back.

If FF47 comes back it means that you are low on freon in the AC system. Once you fix the freon leak and recharge the system, CLEAR the codes again.
