Check engine light comes on eratically.

Have taken auto to 2 different repair shops. Each place had replaced different sensors, but the light continues to come back on. Sometimes I am a just sitting at the stop light waiting for the light to change and the engine light comes on. Other times I have been slowly turning a corner and the car jerks and then the light comes on.

The engine light may comes on due to

1. Faulty spark plugs and wiring

2. Clogged fuel filter

3. Faulty mass air flow sensor

4. Loose or faulty fuel cap

SOURCE: 2004 Suzuki Verona hesitating and jerking with ck eng light on

I've got the same make/model and issue. I've got a mechanic I trust who changed the spark plugs and pc valve (about $200). The problem has persisted and he's telling me we need to change the spark plug wires which I avoided because they were going to cost me $120 @ Autozone. So I knew if I'd ordered through my mechanic or the dealer they would have been twice that not including labor. If it doesn't work...I'll be calling click and clack.

One thing I can say...is that this car is the best example of why you need a trustworthy mechanic. Someone who is willing to try and eliminate an issue one at a time versus what they did to you. I really love my car and have grown to realize the parts are hard to find and rival BMW's in price. Find another mechanic...and if when you buy a part for routine maintenance...buy two.

Most auto parts stores Advance/ Autozone etc will get the diagnostics codes from cars computer and tell you why the light is on and what the problem is if there is a problem.

SOURCE: my check engine light comes on every now and then.

Sounds like you may be passing moisture to the O2 sensor. #1 make you sure you are using a GOOD grade of Gasoline. You may need to add a bottle or 2 or DRI-gas to you gas tank. A good bottle of LUCAS fuel treatment wouldn't hurt at this point either.

SOURCE: so i was traveling when my check engine light came

normally this is an hour long job on most vehicles. the price of the part can range anywhere from 50 to 200 depending on the vehicle. if autozone didnt have a listing for it contact your local dealer and have your v.i.n. handy. ask them if there is any recall or service bulletins on this part or problem. good luck.

Check the engine light comes on and off

The check engine light can activate for any number of reasons.There are many auto repair shops that plug un and do it for free.The EPA has very strict tolerances for many settings,so you may not notice the car running differently but something may be slightly off.It might be oxygen sensors,loose gas cap,i.e.There are many ,many things that could trigger the light.

I have a 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4x4. The check engine light came on a little bit ago, and ever since then it's had problems shifting out of first gear. I'll be running 4000 rpm for miles before it...

it is most likley the throttle position sensor"mine wouldn't shift into 5th gear because of it" if it bad or worn out it not sending the correct signal to the computer telling the transmission to shift out. before you get lied to by the auto parts stores diagnostics.turn the ignition on with out cranking the vehicle turn it on off on off and on if the check engine light starts flashing count the flashes .say it flashes two times then pauses then flashes three more times then stops that would be fault code 23 you can look it up on the internet or buy a haynes repair manual in your case if it flashes 2 times then pauses then flashes 4 more times it is the throttle position sensor

If you go to Autozone or Oreillys they will scan the car for free. You also need to have the old trouble codes erased to see if repairs are effective.

What I have a problem with is the car is capable of showing several defects at once. It is unusual for several items to be bad before 1 item shows up. Each sensor should have coded separately and earlier. Also true for the CAT converter.

Idiot light just appeared

the engine check light comes on when a sensor senses a fault in one of several components. anything from a bad sensor to fluid levels... you need to have a mechanic use a scan tool to scan the computer so that it can tell him what sensor is giving a code so that he can remedy the problem
