Dear Debra:

Your vehicle’s computer system has self-testing capability. When the computer senses that there is a problem with some of the components it stores the correspondent trouble code(s) in its memory and lights up the "Check Engine" or "Service Engine Soon" light to tell you that there is a problem and you will need to have the car diagnosed and repaired. The red brake light comes on for two reasons, the fluid level is at the minimum level or the parking brake is engaged. Take it to a service center you trust and let them inspect it very soon, brakes are a safety issue. Hope this helps you.

How do I re-route the vacuum hoses to top manifold on 1999 Madza Miata

Are you trying to pass a smog inspection, if so by disconnecting the battery you have wiped all programming and now before it will pass you will need to complete a OBD2 drive cycle testing procedure, this takes days to do and requires you drive highway, city and idle engine certain periods of time. There is a engine vacuum hose routing diagram under the hood on the federal emissions certification label,.

Check oil level. Make sure you're using the right weight oil. If those are good, you've either got a bad oil pressure sensor or pressure problems with the pump or worn engine bearings. Could be a sitcking pressure relief valve in the pump. But also could be a worn engine

I just bought a 2003 Mazda Miata last April when my other car died. Today on my way home I noticed the check engine light. My car has 55,000 miles but looks and runs like new. I was checkingon line and...

Good Evening, there are several automotive stores like autozone or advanced auto parts that offer the service of scanning your check engine light for free. It would be very worthwhile to have them do that and retrieve the code or codes that caused your light to come on in the first place, from there we can point you in the right direction for repairs. Hope this helps.

2006 Ford Taurus

I would have the front brakes checked and from what you are telling me you may have a warped rotor I do not know how many miles are on the car some cars have a reset after the oil change has been done to turn off the check engine light but if it keeps coming on take it to autozone and they will put it on a tester for free and then you will know what needs to be done
