I turned my truck off at night. In the morning I turned it on and the check engine light was on. A couple weeks ago the check engine light was blinking and was runny rough. So I added sea foam to it and it made it one hundred times better. Also, the obd11 reader or is not reading from the truck. I have tried multiple readers and all say they cannot connect to the truck/computer.
