This suggests there is a problem with the engine management system or with the auto transmission.

If the light persists you need to get the vehicle to the dealer for a diagnostic so the problem can be identified and fixed.

Given the age and mileage of the vehicle it is unlikely to be a malfunction in the warning system itself so have it checked out.

Where is OBD 1 connector location for 1993 Nissan SE-V6 4x4 pick up?

Try disconnecting your battery for 2 minuets then reconnecting the battery . This probably will turn the light off.. then see how long it takes to come back on.. I had Mitsubishi that we never could find out what turned the light on.. The dealer even checked it and could not find the problem (did not even charge us) .. When we would turn off it would stay off for a couple of days.. so to smog it we would turn it off, smog it and worry about it in 2 years..Car ran great, always passed smog eaisly and got over 30mpg and went 200,000 miles..

your idle valve may be dirty or needs replacing would check this as it controls idle. sits on the intake with wires coming out of it.

Cold weather starting problem

I would say it's bad contacts in the ignition switch. Metals change dimensions depending on temperature, looks like 45 degrees is the trick point for whatever is in there. My 04 Silverado 5.3 with 196,000 has the ticking, but it is gone within 10-15 seconds.

1997 jeep grand cherokee check gauges light comes on when the vehicle is cold about a mile down the road, the charge gauge to be precise. After the car is pulled over, the engine is shutdown and resta

there would have been enough induced voltage flying back through the electrical system to keep the motor running.This is not always a good test.A little bit more explanation would be helpful.Does that check gauge remain on or off while driving normally?When it goes off or on does it do it spasmodically or does it do it until you restart the engine?Regards

When should i change the timing belt on my grand vitara there is 46000 kl/m on the clock,and also how often should i change the engine oil.

For most all timing belts, the 100,000 mile marker is when the belt should be changed. The belts are designed to work for 100+ thousand miles, but recommended checking/changing is at 100K miles.

I'm getting the check engine light right side of the screen n the middle reduce engine power and on the left side of the screen i'm getting the service the stabililaty track something like that it ...

You need to go to Autozone to get your check engine light scanned for a code. It doesn't cost anything. Hopefully, your computer has found your problem. They can tell you why your light is on and tell you what the problem is. This will let you know where to start because they are a few things that can cause your engine to loose power.

2009 ford fusion engine light stays on steady

You just have to disconnect the battery for 1/2 hour. then reconnect and drive for 10 miles so computer can relearn your engine again. It may run rough. You should have the key off when refueling because computer sensed a fuel vapor leak during fueling and turned the light on.

Also, you can always drive with a check engine light on. It just means you are not meeting emissions. Do not drive if it's flashing on and off.
