You need to wait until it stops flashing fast, and then it will flash out a two digit code :wink:

Mine coughs occasionally. Take piece of wire, about 3 ft long, with a crimp on one end and bare the other. Disconnect the starter solenoid thin wire and connect the crimp.Touch the other end on the battery positive. The starter should turn the engine. If it don't there's a pointer to your problem. Sticking solenoid or worn, sticking brushes. If it does turn, start looking further up the chain.
