A
"Check Engine" light has to be one of the most frustrating and
confusing facets of owning a vehicle. It's just a light with no
information telling you what the problem is. It is normally a signal
from the car's engine computer that something is wrong.
Five most common are causes are :
*O2 sensor
*Loose gas cap
*Catalytic converter
*Mass air flow sensor
*Spark plug wires
Occasionally,
the Check Engine light comes on when nothing is wrong with the car. It
could just be a temporary problem caused by a change in humidity or
other factors. In this case the light should go off by itself after a
short time. If the light begins flashing can be a more serious
problem
What to do ....
Check to make sure your gas cap is on and give it a few more clicks to tighten it up.
If that
doesn't work, head to a mechanic or an auto parts store -- it's
best to get a professional to diagnose the problem ( and some will even
perform this service for free) .
Remember
... Even though the vehicle could be driving just fine, you may be
wasting fuel, putting out lots of pollution and damaging the engine.
