I just had my truck inspected and a few days later the check engine light came on. I took it to Auto Zone and they said it had to be taken to the dealer it has an issue with the fuel and air mixture? Any ideas? I don't know where to start.
Thanks

If it has a mixture problem the dealer can "flash" the PCM hopefully, and fix your problem. What was the code?

It means if they need to reset or change the parameters of the computer they have a tool to do it.
