Hello, I was Driving my car today and all of a sudden my "Check Engine Soon" light came on and stayed on steady. This has never happend before so im kind of nervous about it. I also noticed that sometimes my gas peddle hesitates to be pushed down when in drive. But only on the first start up of my car. After I drive it for a while the gas peddle accelerates just fine. I've been using 87 type fuel for 2 years now ever since the gas drought here in GA 2 years ago and everyone was fighting to get gas and all was left was the 87 brand. I normaly use the higher brand but have not since the drought. Could you help me figure my problem out soon. Will it be ok to keep driving my car until I find something out?

Thanks Dee

Have the computer scanned for code/s-you have a problem within the engine management system that caused the CEL to turn on-This is your starting point of diagnosis, finding out what's going on.

No its running smoothly like normal, nothing has changed except the light came on yesterday and just on steady. So I will take my car to auto zone or o'reliy to see if they do code scan and go from there. Thanks again,

Dee.
