Check Engine Light

AdamSL2 · 12-05-2005, 04:49 PM

Friday night I start my car and i see a Check engiane light on. I figer it was nothing it would go away in a day or so. Well its still on. I was thinking befor the light that i need new spark plugs but i dont know now. Maybe befor the light my spark was still hiting but it took it a few trys and now its just dead or what.

Also on Sat it was 1st snow of the year for NJ. Well i bin driveing around and i am hearing alot of cracking sounds comeing off my left side. I was thinking it might be ice. But last night there was a crack that was more like a snap. It was like it i was shakeing tin foil. I looked around and have not seen any visabel marks or cracks.

Bring it to a dealer or AutoZone and have them plug it into a computer to see what code it is throwing. Then you can bring that number up here on the board and we can tell you what it is. Check engine lights can easily be nothing at all but be a smart consumer and get it checked out because god forbid something is wrong, just ignoring it can make it worse whatever it is.

Wow Purdue that's the first time I think you have agreed with me and a +1 lol.

Anyways, even if you have a buddy or guy you know at a local shop he can check it for you to. by the way, my name is Adam as well. South Jersey isn't to far from me here in CT. Im about 45 miles out of NYC. What part of SJ, Cherry Hill?
