Speckkial Posted October 28, 2004 Author Report Posted October 28, 2004 Would it initiate the "service engine soon" light? I guess what I'm saying is, this light is lit on my car and I'm trying to figure out what could be wrong with it. Hell, I just bought the car Monday. Quote
MyPrideandJoy Posted October 28, 2004 Report Posted October 28, 2004 What year is it? Motor? I have a 96' CS 3.1 SFI nevermind :oops: Quote
jeremy Posted October 28, 2004 Report Posted October 28, 2004 take it to an autozone so they can pull the code for you.... Quote
MyPrideandJoy Posted October 28, 2004 Report Posted October 28, 2004 take it to an autozone so they can pull the code for you... I'll run to autozone. Thanks. The check engine light is probably on bevause you said you had a bad O2 sensor. The SES lite doesnt come on to show a tune up, means a sensor has gone bad .. Quote

The check engine light is probably on bevause you said you had a bad O2 sensor. The SES lite doesnt come on to show a tune up, means a sensor has gone bad .. not TOTALLY TRUE!...the SES light will come on if there is a misfire detected...a bad plug or wire could cause a misfire and set the light oFF!
