Re: Check engine light
And that's exactly why GM changed it from "Check Engine" to "Service Engine Soon" in the early eighties.
check engine.........yup, it's an engine......and it's still there......

Re: Check engine light
different manufactures use different words use check engine, service engine, just a little light that looks like and engine, service required it just depends. all 96 and newer cars have to be OBDII it was mandated but some 95 cars are OBDII as wellComment

Re: Check engine light
just a random geuss it maybee exahaust gas recirculation (EGR).. I had a 97 3.8 that did the same thing. the light would come on when I was in stop go traffic crawling along but then when I hit a strong acelleration to highway speed it would go off.. turns out the EGR only fucntions at 20something mpg and at low rpm so made senseOriginally posted by Thefbomb13So... sometimes when im drivin my check engine light randomly likes to come off and shut off like 20 minutes later .. i don't know if its just how old my car is (94 camaro) or if theres actually something wrong?!?!
but I am not sure if they had the EGR on the 94, probbaly did.. but defintley best to get the code and look it up; the one I had was P0406 but that was OBDIIComment
