Check Engine Light went out; Not that I'm complaining, mind you ...

Since I bought the car 4 weeks ago, the CEL has been on. I opened the hood and checked, and yes, there was an engine there, so I put it on my list of things to look at. Replacing the brakes and some other stuff was higher priority though, and I hadn't gotten around to it yet.

Saturday I did some stuff in the engine bay, including replacing the O2 sensor. Here it is Tuesday morning. On my way to work, I noticed that the CEL was dark. Either it just burned out or the O2 sensor was what it wanted and it just took a few days for the ECM to notice the new one. I don't think the light burned out.

Don'cha just love it when you fix one thing and it fixes something else? :D :D :D

I hadn't pulled the codes, so I don't know what else it might have wanted. I wasn't planning on fixing the CEL with the oxygen sensor, so it was like a freebie.

go get the codes pulled so you at least know what it was.



if it were a VW id say get it to a shop NOW. when the CEL turns off on a VW something is really wrong.


edit: a 91? nevermind. the code is probably gone by now
