I have a 1995 Crysler Intrepid 3.2 litre with 211,000 kms on it.
After returning from vacation my engine check light started to come on after a few kms of driving all fluid levels etc are OK and the car runs good. I have no idea why this would start happening. I have read on the Internet that this could be related to an emission system problem, where should I start to troubleshoot and correct this problem. While I was away from home my vehicle was parked on my driveway and a few feet away the sidewalk was replaced by a local contracting crew (jack hammering, concrete cutting etc) could the problem have been caused by this activity?

Suggested Repair

The check engine light is not related to nearby jackhammering or concrete work. Have the stored codes read with a code reader or, preferably, a scan tool, then diagnose from those codes.

Conversation Summary

A 1995 Chrysler Intrepid 3.3L with high mileage developed a check engine light after a few kilometers of driving, while fluids were fine and the car ran well. The owner wondered about an emissions issue and whether nearby sidewalk construction caused it. The expert said construction activity was unrelated and advised pulling the codes with a code reader or preferred scan tool.
