Engine Light

I started my car today and the shitty engine light came on. I'm taking the car in on tues to do the recall crap, so it'll be fixed then--but any ideas on what it may be??

Check engine lights are set to come on when something happens that increases the cars emissions over 1.5 times the legal limit.

Sorry, I know that didn't help to much. It very well could be something as simple as a loose gas cap.

Morgan are you going to be in town anytime soon? I have a canscan. It's probably gas cap, or a random misfire.

Where in Gainesville do you live?

I'm not a stalker, sorry. It's just I, too, live in Gainesville.

after you check the gas cap it will take a day or two for the light to go off. 9 out of 10 times it is the gas cap
