What does code PO500 mean for a 1997 Ford Aerostar? I am trying to get it inspected but this error pops up.

Thank you

Dorothy

YOU ARE WELCOME. GOOD LUCK

. BUT LISTEN!

I'M STILL DRIVING A 35 AND A 66 YEAR OLD "REAL JEEPS"

I ANSWER BEST IN THE CJ 5 AND 7 FORUMS

FROM RESPONSES I GET, THEY SORTA CUT THE OLDER RIGS A LOT OF SLACK WITH THE TESTING. NO TESTING IN MY AREA!

OUTTA THINK ABOUT A JEEP CJ. THEY LAST FOREVER! MY '46 WILLYS JEEP DIDN'T COME WITH SEAT BELTS EITHER. NONE ARE REQUIRED! (I THINK FROM '63 ON BACK THEY'RE NOT REQUIRED)

SO, A "RESTORED CAR" IS LIKE HAVING.A BRAND NEW OLD CAR. CHEAPER PARTS. TURNS HEADS. GRANDFATHERED IN!

I HOPE THIS ADDITIONAL INFO PERSUADES YOU TO SELL ALL OF YOUR CARS. AND GET A JEEP

I CAN KEEP THROWING OUT PROPAGANDA IF YOU NEED ME TO CONVINCE YOUR OTHER HALF!

LET ME KNOW
