Check engine light

Too fucking late.
If I were you, I'd shut up before I made myself look worse.
But I'm not you, and that's your choice to make.

Here, I'll let you in on something,
As long as it isn't Facebook-tier shit, nobody gives a fuck.

GAS CAP IS LOOSE AGAIN

Hey man, you do you. People here will always give you shit no matter what. The cruel sadistic fuks that make up Veeky Forums's population have been beaten down by life so hard into the shitty ground that all they want to do is force their hatred of the world onto you. They also just want to dream of having cars they can never afford, instead of actually discussing anything. Honestly, I'll probably just never come back to this board. It's anything but comfy here.

>b-but people on the internet werent nice to me!!!!

check engine light blinking like a strobe
smoke bellowing out of hood
FUUUUK
suddenly remember I left a rag in the engine bay after cleaning it

It's called an MIL :)

>>lift hood
>>engine's still there

whew, dodged a bullet on that one.

>Scan for codes.
>Error code is for a Diesel engine.

>reset codes and ignore it

Such is life as a poorfag

I didn't install the evap sensor/valve correctly so every so often I get a CEL for an evap canister leak, but I keep an OBDII code reader and reset the ECU and it doesn't come up for another 2-4 weeks

>yfw this becomes the new MIL symbol in 50 years when most cars are electric

>>tfw you forget you're driving a rear-engined car

I've been running rich for a while now, the v8 sohc pops quite a bit, why no cel?

it will only pop a cel if she runs lean, do we always over-tune it a little to run rich instead of too lean?

>truck has check eng light
>engine idling down and stalling
>not even giving gass saves me
>wtf

>inspect engine
>tfw the autistic fuck that cleaned my engine bay when i had it inspected at the dealership didnt tighten down the screws on my airbox

>OEM one is 34 bucks from dealer my price

I called em up Friday and just went down my list of why I was pissed but since the owner was not around he said to call back Monday. The kicker is on the invoice they says the car had a P0335 and keep in mind I checked the codes 5 mins before dropping it off. Do I have a right to be pissed? Im asking for a refund on everything they did with the crank/cam sensor and for them to buy me new OEM ones for me to put in, is that unreasonable.

>>yfw this becomes the new MIL symbol in 50 years when most cars are electric

>mfw its just p0401

time to find a new place

That's a given. I still don't think I ever tossed a crank sensor code. All weekend i'm just sitting here and stewing over it getting more and more pissed

>check engine light blinking
>engine shaking like hell
>plugwire was disconnected

What did your invoice say? If you didn't specifically sign for an OEM part then there's probably jack shit you can *technically* do. But if you bug them about it you might have some luck. Good luck.

And I get that but even something as a google search of a crank sensor and my engine turns up end less warnings about it. And like I said I don't think it ever tossed a crank code

>get oil changed
>a few weeks later the oil change warning comes on and blocks the screen that normally shows the clock
God damnit, those useless fucks forgot to reset the counter. I still haven't had time to go there and get it fixed.

I'm well aware. I'm just saying that if they continue to act like the dicks that they seem like then you're shit out of luck because, regardless of the reality, you approved of what was actually done ahead of time with a signed document. I'm just tempering expectations so that, while you know you can and should push, you don't try to get in over your head.

RTFM! it tells you how to reset the log

>their cars have check engine lights

Lmao, plebians.

>install headers
>start car and it's afterfireing like crazy
>two plug wires switched

"I noticed the check engine light is on."

"Yeah mate common fault mate it's just a dodgy sensor mate trust me there's nothing wrong with it mate I would have had it fixed already mate but I didn't have the money so I reflected the cost in the asking price mate drives lovely mate had no problems with it mate."

>allowing someone else to change your own fucking oil

>he drives a brand new cuckmobile
nice payment plan youve got there you fucking faggot

I too drive Civic 1.7 cdti. Best shitbox ever.

I'm sure he's referring to driving an old car

>their cars have check engine lights
Their cars physically have check engine lights
