What could be the problem? i was driving on the motorway today when the malfunction indicator la p came on display in my 2000 toyota yaris. the engine sounds fine and there dont seem to be any other problems what could it be? please help
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.
Common problems that can cause the Check Engine light to come on:
could be something like a bad oxygen sensor, faulty mass airflow sensor, failed catalytic converter, worn-out spark plugs, ignition wires, a loose gas cap or a clogged-up EGR system.
