Check Engine Lights
2003 Chevy railblazer Has Check Engine Light On - Code PO442
We have had the very same problem as Amanda, in one of your other postings. We have a 2003 Chevy Trailblazer with 60,000 or so miles. The check engine light came on. We hooked up an analyzer on our own and it gave us a reading of P0442 that indicated that it was emission control small leak. We changed our fuel cap and fuel filter. Several days later the check engine light came on again. Guarantee is out and would like to do the job ourselves.

Can Adding too Much Gas to My Car Cause the Check Engine Light to Come on?
I have a customer who is complaining that she had to get her car repaired because she had a "check engine" light on after pumping gas at our facility. She complains that this "Check engine" light came on because she had overflow of gas from her tank while she was pumping gas at our facility due to a defective nozzle.

Ford Expedition Check Engine Light On - Faulty Oxygen Sensors?
I have a 1997 Ford Expedition and we replaced all 4 of the O2 sensors this spring (one at a time) and now they are all bad again. What can cause them to go bad? My engine is "boggy" when in the idle position, especially when air conditioner is on. Should I address this immediately?

Nissan Maxima Check Engine Light Comes On Then Goes Off
I have a 1999 Nissan Maxima with 106,000 miles. For about a year now, the service engine soon light (yellow indicator) has been coming on and staying on for a month or so, then goes off for several weeks before coming back on again. The car drives fine and seems to have no symptoms of a problem. When it first happened, I took the car to my mechanic, with whom I've done business for 20 years and trust very much. He told me he hooked the car up to the computer, but got no codes to indicate anything was wrong. He said not to be concerned unless the light started blinking. Do you know if this is a common problem among Maximas? As I said, I trust my mechanic, but I'm still concerned when I drive the car long distances. What's your advice?

Check Engine Light Continues to Come on In my Buick Rivieria - why?
I have a 1995 Supercharged Buick Riviera. I have had the fuel pump, transmission, brake module, radiator, water pump, fuel regulator, powertrain modulle,replaced and other things I am sure. the car has 143,000 miles on it so I would expect these things to go wrong. Recently I have had the EGR valve replaced and the mechanic told me that the service engine soon light would still come on but he was not sure. He told me that my car stored a trouble code that there was no code for. He said the engine light might go on and it may not.

My Car Failed The Emission Test - I Replaced The Catalytic Converter - Still Problems
My car failed the emission test so I had the catalytic converter replaced, but the check engine light still comes on and then goes off. Somtimes the check engine light will not come on at all. Does this mean I need to have the light re-programmed?

2003 Chevy Trailblazer Check Engine Light On After Fuel Tank Replaced By Dealership - What Now?
My 2003 Chevy Trailblazer check engine light has been coming on. The dealership replaced the fuel tank for $1,000, but that did not correct the problem. Now there is a noise that was not there before and they say it is a bad fan clutch. Could they have done damage to the clutch?
