99 Intrigue Service Engine Light On
I was driving along and stopped for a merge light. When I sped up again to 55-60mph my service engine light went on. It's a 3.5L 6 cylinder engine with 172,000 miles on it. Any thoughts on what it could be or if it's urgent??
Thanks for any feedback! |
I have an Olds 1991 Ninety-Eight and my "service engine soon" light has been on since 2004 (about 6 mo.s after I bought it). No engine problems since. I had a mechanic tell me that if the warning light is yellow/orange, don't worry, but if it's RED, it's need immediate attention. If it's bothering you, then just put some black electrical tape over it :D

The lights are there for a reason. You ned to go to a car parts store, most of them will scan the car for free and tell you what the problem is. Then you can make an informed decision whether to ignore it or not.

Iflylow is probably a mechanic.......lol...he just wants you to spend your money for a mechanic to "reset" that light (which will probably come right back on in a few months). hehehhee
sb If you have a mechanic who just wants to reset stuff without fixing the problem, you have chosen a poor mechanic. It is more expensive to just let minor problems turn into major ones than to fix them properly when they first appear. |
