SOURCE: The service engine soon light keeps coming on

take the truck to autozone and have them run the diagnostic machine on it, but make sure to take it when the light is on. I hope that helps you out.

SOURCE: service engine soon light just came on

May save yourself a fair bit of money by not guessing, autozone will scan it for free & then you should know exactly.

SOURCE: SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ON FAILED EMISSIONS

Yes, take it back. The might of replaced the Egr valve to turn off the light. Don't let them charge you for retesting it, that's why you took it in in the first place.

SOURCE: 1999 GEO TRACKER - CHECK ENGINE SOON LIGHT

Don't panic!! LOL Just take the vehicle to an autoparts store and have them use a scan tool to retrieve any fault code(s) stored in the computer. Most parts stores will do the scan at no charge. The code or codes will help note any problems or potential problems that the computer has identified. Sure hope this helped and best wishes.

1995 Ford Windstar Engine Knocking at startup. Driven 2800 miles since last oil/filter change. Oil level SAT, Coolant level SAT and no visible leakage. Engine completely rebuilt 2 years ago. Engine has...

No if the oil light has flickered you have oil pressure loss some time just belive the sensor do help us out. lifter do not cause oil pressure loss pressure is built in the rotation of the crankshaft. The knock under the plenum will point you to that cylinder that is affected, (main bearing) as for a 1995 the injectors can only cause a misfire but no knocking noise,will they honor the warranty

I took my 2005 Dodge Caravan in for an oil change and it is making a knocking noise. I took it back and the mechanic said the oil pump went bad and now the van needs a new engine. Is this correct?

That very well could be-- if you lose oil pressure, this can ruin your engine. You should have seen a red "oil light" indicating that there was a serious problem, to accompany the knocking noise, which could be "rod knock" if you had very low (or no) oil pressure.
Make sure you have someone else verify before giving this guy thousands of dollars.

Why would my oil press. be 3/4 up on guage all the time.cold starting little knoise fo 30 sec.

The weather you live in, oil weight being used, what type of car/truck. I'm thinking run an engine cleaner through for 5 min to clean the engine. What you are hearing is most likely a sticky valve. Drain the oil, change the filter and fill with a light oil in the cold with light loads and heavier oil in hot weather. A multi viscosity oil can be used to weigh out the cold and hot weather.

As soon as i start the car it makes a noise sounds lke knocking but the car runs fine

You may have a loose connecting rod bearing or a hydraulic lifter that makes noise until the oil pressure builds up. Has the engine had an oil change w/new filter lately? Try 'high mileage' oil. Have a service shop check the actual oil pressure by installing a mechanical gauge temporarily. You might have a worn oil pump that is a relatively cheap fix. Hope this helps!

Car seemed hesitant when started service engine soon light on

There are many things that can cause the light to come on. Generally if it is serious most 'check engine' or 'service engine' lights will blink. The simplest (and cheapest) method to diagnose the problem is to take the car to AutoZone and they will read the computer codes free of charge and tell you exactly what it is (such as the oxygen sensor got a bad reading and needs a reset, or its time for an oil change... etc.)
