If you can find away to read the codes you will probably find that it has a bad throttle position sensor

Check your TPS Throttle positioning sensor. Sounds like it has a dead spot in it or it is failing. May also be a wiring harness issue or loose connection at TPS too! If its intermittent then it will soon go out completely. It should be located on your fuel pedal. Remove it and check it with an ohm meter. Check resistance all the way thru from 0-100 percent. When it is not working it should do nothing and show no resistance. When it is working the resistance value will increase and or decrease as you turn the sensor.

SOURCE: Service Engine Soon Light

Engine light could mean many thing. There's about a 100 things that can make the light go on.
Best thing to do is go to an autoparts store and have them scan for the trouble code from the on board computer. Many autoparts store will do this for free. They should tell you what the trouble code means and you can start from there.

My 1994 BMW 525i e34 came up with the Trans Program warning. Accelerator would not rev the engine!

sounds as if the accelerater cable broke, when you were able to throttle under the hood did you happen to notice if the accelerater cable was moving freely.

How do I turn off the service engine soon light on my 1992 chevy pickup full size

Turn the ignition key to the ON position without starting the engine.

Press the accelerator pedal three times quickly. The light will go off. It will return again in 3000 miles to remind you again.

Engine shuts off while setting at idle.

Pumping the accelerator on a fuel injected car is usually a worthless exercise--the technique works on carbureted cars with accelerator pumps. But in your case, it may be helping a bad throttle position sensor make some idle contacts come together. the throttle position sensor has a variable resistor to tell the engine computer where the throttle opening is--and a switch to tell the computer if the throttle is open or closed as at idle. This sensor isn't cheap so I would buy a Haynes manual to help you check it out before replacing it. Some auto parts stores will "read your diagnostic trouble codes or DTC's" for free. Even if your check engine light is not on, some transitory codes can get latched in memory and help you solve the problem.

Resetting service engine soon light in my 2002 cadillac escalade

  1. Turn the ignition key to the RUN position.
  2. Press the INFO button on the Driver Information Center (DIC) button to display ENGINE OIL LIFE.
