i know my speedo doesn't work, but how would that make my truck misfire? 42 is the only code i pulled. do i have to clear that one to get the next one?

no you don't need to clear one to get another. Are you sure you didn't get more than one code?

just checked it again, and all i got was 42 over and over.

my cel never stays on.

when it starts missing real bad the light will flash a couple times and go off. and if it misses and i floor it, the light will come on for about 5 seconds then go out.

why wouldn't it store the code?
