Check Engine Light - Click HERE for Original Thread

Kyle2K
So today i decided that until i get rims for my car, the hubcaps are commin off!

once finished that, i checked the air filter and oil levels.

the air filter was fine and i reinstalled it. the oil was quite low, i think i have a leak somewhere, so i added a few liter's.

an hour later i drove from devon to leduc (20 min) no problem. started my car after letting it sit for 45 min while in walmart and of a sudden the check engine light came on and will not go away.

any ideas as so what i could have done or how to find out?

go to a mechanic and they'll run a scan...

or if you or someone you know has a scanner you can do that..

there are other ways aswell...
i know on neons you turn the key forward 3 three times and then the cel blinks a code to you

good luck:thumbup:

its probably just running rich... disconnect your battery for a minute, reconnect it. see if it happens again?

ok so im a retard. apparently there is a difference between check engine and maintenance required. i've never had a car with that before.
i got it all straightened out, just needed an oil change and to reset the maintenance light. thanks for that link above tho. its helpful
