ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON
Camaro was running perfect until I left my headlights on overnight. I removed and recharged the battery but now the check engine light stays on and won't go off. Car is running rough and won't idle.I am thinking that no power is going to the air fuel solenoid at the carburetor.Keep in mind the car was running,shifting and timing was advancing properly until headlights were left on and completely drained the battery.Please help!

Retrieving error codes, and interpreting: http://www.thirdgen.org/service-engi...ht-error-codes

The ECM power is a wire connected to the positive battery cable, runs along the frame rail under the radiator overflow tank. Check out the connection there.
