Check Engine Light...

[unityerased]

Ok, just got the car today.. driving it for the 3rd time (short trips) and the Check Engine Light comes on, then goes off, then comes on again, and then goes off again. This is the first time this has done it. Joey told me to check the airbox in which I am gonna check now. Any suggestions?

Pull codes. That is always a good place to start.

02 Sensors. Especially if it happenes at a maintained speed (Highway usually)

GO to Murry's auto parts, or autozone, they can help you check codes and will do it for free. Oh, and when they tell you the check engine light has to be on to register the codes, ask them to do it anyway....

Mine came on when the tranny fluid was low

hasn't came on since... but.. when leaving work today, my Low Coolant Level warning came on.. i checked it.. its just about full.. that also hasn't came on again.

could possibly be an intermittent sensor. If the warning comes on again, and the coolant level is fine, i'd just replace the sensor and go from there. Or at least check the conections and condition of the sensor to make sure it isnt damaged

ah yeah, well i would have to have it done because im still new at learning about cars.
