SES dunno

[zpwn06]

My SES light comes on and off pretty often. Car is running fine and I don't think about it too much, but I have to pass inspections soon. The only consistency I can figure out is that the light comes ON when engine temp +ambient temp is > 270 degrees. So it doesn't come on in the mornings or at night when its cool. I changed the insulation on the fuel lines for aesthetic purposes (looks all shiny now) and that seems, strangely enough, to have helped.

My coolant is a little iffy, but seems to be working. Its not leaking and the temp never gets over 210 or so (though it always goes to 210), kind of a nasty color because I accidentally mixed green and orange. Oh well.

Had an oil change about 600 miles ago. Its kinda been doing this since I bought it but it stopped during the winter and now its coming back. Whats up?

How much did you mix together? Green and orange don't like each other.

Edit: Also, take the car to Advanced auto to get it scanned. Give us the code.

thats not really the problem I don't think, the problem was there before I got the colors mixed up (I'm actually colorblind, so I ask other people what it looks like:()

Will take it in eventually, but since its not really giving me trouble I'm pretty easy about it
