pre 1994 ish cars/trucks have obd 1 and cars/trucks after that are obd2. take it to auto zone or Orilleys and have them scan the car and see whats wrong. if they can clear the code have them do it. but sounds kinda shady to sell it with a known issue.

This is what I'd recommend

They do it for free, figure out the code and go from there. Don't try to screw someone over... It's easier than it looks


Post back with your code so we can give you a better idea/suggestions

horrible way to sell a car, real car enthusiasts will point out the problem or fix it before selling, but hey be my guess.
if ur odb2, just plug up a diagnosis reader (buy a shit one for 40-50 from autozone, or rent one), and clear code yourself rite before you sell the car.
obd1 take your negative battery cable off for 10-15mins, it'll reset ECU, but also reset w/e else on the car.

Chances are that the check engine will come back on quickly depending on the code. Lets say the guy take the car out for a little drive before buying it its prob gonna come back

I agree. Be honest and tell about any issues you are aware with the car.
