Q:Hey gear-heads, I have a regular ‘00 Civic VP and the check engine light turned on a week ago. I just did an oil change and I reset the light by unplugging the battery for a couple minutes but the light came on after a couple hours of driving. Lately it seems I have been losing gas mileage. I don‘t know if it is the cold weather (Wisconsin) or something is wrong with the car like the O2 sensor or what not. The gas cap is on tight, so that‘s not the problem. What is your guys‘ take on the problem. Thanks in advance.

the number of blinks the check engine light does is a code and once you know the blinks like 2 long 1 short then you can look up what it says in the manual or probably ask again at yahoo answers

Q:In the range of 600 or less? 12 gauge is the only option. I‘m 12 but noise doesn‘t bother me. Recoil would like to be kept to a minimum if possible.

Cz makes a decent one. For under 600 your options are slim. Its a 12 gauge so its going to kick

Q:The engine light on my car turn on now and again. It stays on for about 2 days then goes off for about a week, then back on again. Sometimes is sooner or later. Does anyone know of any common faults or what this might be? If the light is turning off then it cant be serious can it?

the check engine light goes on when any of the systems the computer monitors returns a value outside the parameters it expects to see. Even when the light recycles and resets, the error code is kept in memory. Go to the dealer, or your mechanic, and have the system scanned for error codes. One that is done you will know what codes are present, and how serious it is. Someone is bound to tell you to go to some auto parts store to have it scanned. Please don't. They only do the scan to sell you parts, and the scan is only as good as the kid on the counter that day.

Q:A 2000 year model is serviced by two auto technicians. The abs warning light has been activated for the anti l?

abs system is the ani locking brakes. and if the tech's that worked on it did any wheel work to it and unplugged it it will go on.. my suggestion is to take it back to the person that worked on it and tell them that it wasn't on when you brought it is and make them fix it on their dime..

Q:And of course the check engine light. I have taken it to an AutoZone, and the code came back stating that the ignition area had problems. So I had the spark plugs changed, a week ago. This morning, as I was driving into work, lo the lights came on again. Oy, I'm not sure what to do next? Flush the coolant system? Take it to a mechanic to look at??

Take the car to a mechanic for a diagnosis and spend some much needed money on maintenance. With a 5 year old used car it's a fact of life. This is the time when most used cars start to require frequent maintenance and you need to be prepared financially to keep the car running or consider replacing it with something brand new.

Q:i got a flat yesterday. my boyfriend came and fixed it with the spare that came with the car. its been running fine and no damage could have really resulted from the flat. does the check engine light come on when a spare is on the car??

A spare shouldn't make the check engine light come on, even if it's one of those doughnut spares. It must be a coincidence. Quite a few things can make that light come on. Even a loose gas cap.

Q:it does the same in 4 wheel auto. when I hit the button to go back to 2 wheel I can hear something clicking & the 2 wheel lights up as should

try slowing down and even putting it in nuetral.. sometimes it is operator error

Q:1996 camaro z28 air bag light is on. Now read careful I have the service books. Want expert advise How do you tell if it is the steering wheel or the Passenger bag that is defective. any codes set. How to test?

If the airbag light is on then you need a scanner to scan for BCM codes, until then it's all guessing. Get it scanned then report back to us with a code.

Q:About a month ago, we got an oil change at Pep Boys, and they threw in some fuel system cleaner into the gas tank- I think it was the gunk brand. About a week or so ago, the check engine light and the service light came on. I had it checked, and the code indicated an EGR problem. I also recently noticed a faint smell of gasoline outside of the car, and in the trunk area. Now, for some reason, the check engine and service lights have gone out. Would the fuel system cleaner have caused this problem? Is it true that the EGR valves on these particular cars usually last a very long time?

Some people are lining up the signs and how things seem to be set up to happen in our life-time. For example, it is our life-time that we have communication in the way we have it now. It's in our lifetime that we can store our identities digital. This makes our time a time when the second coming is plausible. Also, some point to bar codes. The number on bar codes say. 6 6 6. There's more but I haven't been exactly very interested in it. If it happens. I'm ready to go to heaven. Again, this is just what I know. I don't have all the answers but that's what I know.
