Check Engine Light?

Thank you! That is good to hear and I hope that is what was happening.

My check engine light has periodically come on and off. Usually it is after filing with gas. Yesturday my Check Engine Light came on and will now not stop blinking. The car is bucking and it feels like there is no pick up upon acceleration at all. This morning it almost felt like the car was going to stall, but it didnt. Can you help me to let me know what it might be? How expensive, and can I run the car in this condition right now?
Thank you kindly.

I think you need to replace your Intake manifold and air sensor. Parts are less than $100 combined. Very easy to do yourself.
Good luck

My problem was a split vacuum hose. There are 3 which basically sit on top of the engine.

Alright so at 1093 miles, the Check Engine light has finally returned. I guess I will bring it in to get it checked out.

I got code p1141 (bank 1 sensor 2 heater circuit voltage low) I replace the rear o2 sensor. Dissconnected the batt while replace o2 sensor and left door open. Check engine light came back on the next day. I took it back to get the code pulled and I got the same p1141 code. Help please

Hi what would be the correct voltage for the sensor?
Thanks

A month ago I had my car inspected. When I got it back from the dealership that evening my check engine light came on. Since it was Friday, I had to wait until Monday to call. The car's performance seemed fine over the weekend. Monday morning I filled the car up with gasoline at the local Getty in town, then called the dealership. They first asked if I didn't tighten the gas cap-to which I replied the problem began Friday evening, I did not put any fuel into the car until that morning. They advised to bring it in. Later they called to advise the problem was my catalytic onverter and I would need to have it replaced, they would need to order one as it isn't a stock item. I told them I would wait until I had enough money for the repair. The check engine light stayed on until I refilled the tank at a Cumberland Farms station using the mid grade gas, then it went off within 10 miles of refueling. I noticed the light stays off as long as the fuel doesn't get below a quarter tank. Then this week I filled again at the Getty station and my Check Engine light came back on and stayed on until I refueld-I allowed the gas to run down to nearly empty then filled at Hess using the mid grade fuel. Again, within 10 miles of topping off my tank the light went out again. Is there really a problem with my catalytic converter or is it a problem associated with the fuel grade which triggers a sensor? Please advise. Thank you, Erica

I have been having problems with my car the check engine light is blinking. It woudnt turn over I got a friend to jump start it started but he took it for a run around the block and the check engne light is blinking. I have no idea what this means my friend said is could just be a sensor but he doesnt know cars well.

Figured I would see if you would have advice before I took it in to a shop and got billed out my bottom for something simple.

Thank you in advance

1999 Mazda Protege 5spd. 125,000 KMs Engine light has come on and stayed. Replaced the EGR Valve. Light went out. Week later, came on and stayed. Drove it this way for a couple weeks, then tonight, started real rough and light started flashing. Light flashed all the way to the mechanics'. Any ideas what causes the flashing light, and how serious this would be? Thanks!

Has any one check to see what code is stored in pcm memory.

Daughter took her car to dealer. They diagnosed and found error codes PO171 and PO420. It is running good with no problem other than the light. Last year it was the gas cap.

They are suggesting replacing the O2 sensor, coil, wriing, plugs and even the cat. Converter. $2000 woth of work. She is on a budget- what could the problem be and what would be the least costly way to solve the problem. If she does nothing for a few weeks what could result?

Thanks
