The Mud Pit > Wrenching

Just my luck: CEL

<< < (2/3) > >>

rocket:
so this morning after all the ice had melted, i pulled the neg post off till the computer restet and took it for a test drive.  The vibration was absent (i'm guessing it was from the ice), but the CEL is back :'(  If I knew it was something cheezy like an O2 sensor, I wouldnt' worry, but know knowing bugs me.  Justin is going to take me there and back.  THANKS DUDE! and I'll fix it once I get back.

You should only worry about it if its flashing.  Then you have to worry because it's a catalyst destroying failure.  If it's just on and running fine, then dont worry about it too much until you have to go through emissions.

One-Eye:
Just run to the nearest Auto Zone.  They let you use their OBD-II sensor for free.  That is what I always do.  Between the Camaro, Sunfire, Corolla, and the Jeep, they pretty much just let me use it as I please.  Sometimes they will ask you to hold your license but that is it.

rocket:
Not enough time to go to autozone, so Justin just brought me.  I made it here about 4am local :(

I got a free copy of xp to put on my mac, so i'll be able to run my diagnostic software when i get home :)

rocket:
so i went to autozone just before saying hey to the crew that did the run.  rear O2 sensor heater ckt.  one of the wires (that i repiared after a grinder accedent) came back loose.  some day i'll solder them.  tomorrow i'll go back and get the code cleared for good.

i'm guessing i caught it on a snow/ice chunk from all the "plowing" i did when it was snowing :D
