put a sticker over it! best way to get rid of a check engine light haha
autozones in CA will not check your codes for free, nor do any of the auto parts stores rent out or loan their scanners anymore.....
well my light came on again after about 100 miles or so, i gotta check it out again. but the first time it was sayin i had a bad cylinder but i just had the thing rebuilt and it runs better than ever
I'd check anyway. They do in Vacaville and Sacramento.
According to Autozone's company policy they do not... any more.... they got sued for it, and now are not allowed to do it anymore....kragens also will not loan or scan tools out in CA or HI http://shop.oreillyauto.com//Help/InStoreServices.aspx
Thats nice and all, but I had a code run on my ford not more than 2 weeks ago in vacaville. Used to have them run all the time in Sacramento, but that was a while ago. I'm not saying whether they do or not, but its always worth checking. The worse they can do is say no.
I went the other day to Auto Zone here in OR and they said they still do the scanning but not on my '88. Too old!
ok so i checked it again and i got code 71 which i believe is EGR system malfunction, but last week it said bad valve, and a few months before it said 02 sensor. i just dont know which to believe
as far as cutting the wire, they check for that too when they test it.... it the light doesnt come on in the start position then go out, they assume tampering and fail it....you could rig up something on its own circuit to time delay it maybe only once as soon as its started.... but...... usually it's better just to fix it, instead of mask the problem
Well, I would probably eliminate the O2 sensor for the time being, simply because of the time frame. What valve are we talking about? what code was it? I can't think of any codes that say you have a bad valve. You may have a short, or you may have multiple problems. Are you sure you're reading the flashes right?
