Check engine light

[Thefbomb13]

So... 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?!?!

Re: Check engine light

need more info. next time it happens take it to a autozone and they will scan it for you for free as long as the ses light is on.

He has an OBDI connection. Most Autozones don't carry it, only OBDII. But, you could get lucky and maybe they have it. You could check with other auto-parts stores to see if they have it.

Worst case scenario, you find a mechanics shop and pay the $45+ to get a diagnostic scan.

Re: Check engine light

Actually, you should take over to autozone now to get it scanned. The trouble codes should be stored in the computer, and it'll tell you whats wrong.

Although, you have the OBD I so I'm not sure if it stores the codes like the OBD II. Autozone will be able to help you.

:edit:
Oh, maybe autozone won't be able to scan it. I'd call them first to ask.

Re: Check engine light

they'd scan a 94 ? i thought like they can only scan 98 and newer ?? plus if my check engine light came on by the time i got to AZ it would be gone .. maybe if i still get the codes run it will still possibly show up?
