I have an intermittent Check Engine Light. It stays on for about thirty miles. Is this a common problem with this car? What do you think is causing it. It does not stay on long enough to scan a code. This have been going on for about 30,000 miles.

I would really need the exact code numbers not code descriptions. You can always buy a cheap code reader and scan it yourself. That is what I would do in your case. If I knew the code number I could tell you if it was a common problem.

Hi RONCALI,

Here is a link to an article that features written step by step instructions and pictures explaining how to do the scan yourself, also I have included a link to our YouTube channel with a how to video on code scanning. Most scanners are inexpensive to purchase, you can purchase one online from sites like Amazon.com
