Got in my car this morning and started it up, and the damn CEL light is on. I had no choice but to drive it to work and it drives fine. I noticed no limp mode or any issues. I will have to get it checked out after work today.

I'm guessing the code might be for the random missfires I've been having, but who knows

 

check your gas cap

 

Big Ditto on that... loose gas cap = thrown cel...

-Rich

 

Good call guys. I'll check right now.

I haven't filled up in 5 days though. Don't you think it would have thrown the code earlier?

 

well, that cap was definitely not loose. Any other suggestions?

 

Too rich or Too lean throws a CEL. Do anything to your intake lately?

 

completely 100% stock

 

Not a misfire. Misfire = flashing CEL.

Could be anything... go have the code read.

 

Take a screw driver and tighten all of your clamps on your stock intake tube, and make sure they are properly seated.

I had a CEL the day before I left for college, it was leaning out because of a leak due to a lose clamp on my intake tube.

 

Yea mine went on the other day too. lean condition. but i just put in a K&N filter. odd thing is i had been driving it for 2 weeks and then all the sudden it comes on?!?!?!?!?

good thing i have a tech2.

 

Well after taking a look under the hood when I got home the intake tube/hose had popped off the SC. Put that back on, started it up and the CEL went off. Thanx for the tips everyone! I have no clue how that thing came off of there!

 

Glad to hear the problem was solved.
