Malfunction today, on the clock that showes the km, the engine worning light went on, not blinking, but always on. what does that mean ????? the service closer to me is at 44 km !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

According to a post on Fixya, the engine warning light blinking 4 times slowly followed by 8 times quickly is a sign of a throttle position sensor malfunction. The post also suggests that the engine not starting could be due to a fuel pump malfunction or a faulty spark plug.

Blinking Engine Light Means NOW

Blinking of Check Engine Light may be due to:
- Misfire (Ignition system malfunction).
- Evaporative system malfunction (Gas cap, fuel tank leakage, canister, vacuum leaks).
- Catalytic converter.
- Wiring and connectors.
It is better to have the car be diagnosed properly with a suitable diagnostic tool and to retrieve the error codes and freeze frame data to locate the problem.

The check / service engine light means there is a problem with the performance the engine computer has detected. The flashing light means the problem is serious.
You need to have the engine computer checked for trouble codes to proceed.

Dont drive a car with the light flashing. A flashing check engine light means that something is really wrong and you can damage the engine if you drive it.

DO NOT DRIVE IT.....Driving it when the check engine is flashing may cause a simple problem to become a major problem if not fixed right away. Cruise control will always disable when the check engine light is on, when cleared, it will work again. Blinking light means serious malfunction, needs to be repaired right away. This can be many things, from simple multiple cylinder misfire, to something more serious.

As long as it does'nt stay on it's doing what it's suposed to be doing which is saving you from going out of control. It'll come on more often if you drive like hell, run with low tracktion tires or worn out ones and if the air pressure is low. If your tires have over 80,000 miles on them even if the tread is still good their bad tires as their skating along and the trackstion system is working hard to keep the car under control. If the tires aren't al the same size it'll do it to. ( fronts worn out backs still with tread.) Mis matched tires too. Ifthe light stays on other light's are bound to be coming on too the ABS light the brake light, and even the engine light as their all involved in traction control.

means that you need to take your car to a mechanic for routine maintenance in 4741 kilometers worth of driving.

Most Auto Part stores like napa or kragen will read the malfunction code for you for free. Once you get that done post the code so we can give you a better understanding on your concern. Oh if your light is flashing please don't drive it that means you are doing immediate damage.

Someone or something heavy was on the Passenger seat. The wire harness under that seat has become loose or disconnected. Completely unplug and clean treminals and reconnect. SOLVED
