I would think 2 flashes then 4 would be code 24.Code 6 would be 6 straight flashes.

Drain your fuel, fill it up again with 91+ octane and let it run for a little bit. Sounds like you lost some octane in your fuel from sitting over the summer. Take it for a burn if you can to try and clear out the old fuel. That should solve your problem. Engine is just retarding your timing a touch because your det sensor felt some cylinder misfire.

I googled 900 engine codes and found out codes are 1 to 10 so the above is wrong.

"6 Detonation Sensor 6 times This blink code is set if the engine speed is above 6000 RPM and the DET signal is below 1.23 volts or above 4.3 volts for more than 2 seconds" this is directly from the repair manual. These codes are "soft" codes and will go away when the problem is fixed. Check the wiring up to your det sensor to make sure nothing has been broken but if the light wasn't on before you stored it then the chances are slim that the det sensor went on it. Try running fresh fuel through it and it should clear the issue.

I put fresh fuel in it. The problem could be more not sure. In the spring just before I parked I put in a used stator,VR,and ECU it was running when I parked it this thing is starting to piss me off :(

Should be clearing itself out and cycling the fresh fuel through. I bet if you give it a little time the light will go out.

No need to change your plugs. Just have a look at them to see if your engine is running a little rich.

That's good. Running a little rich because of the unburned bad fuel. It should definately clear itself just keep cycling the fresh fuel through and the light should go out. Hopefully that helps. Good luck :)
