Question Random CEL

Ok today i got a CEL light after i went and registered for my classes today. The car hasn't been started in two days and hasn't been driven in almost a week. Its just been sitting in my driveway because of massive amounts of snow. I had the oil changed about a week ago. The last time i had a CEL come on it was because of a wire cover came loose on my clutch. If anyone knows what it may be i would appreciate it alot

Agree... we'll just be throwing darts at a board guessing until we know the code that generated the CEL.

First thing you need to is get the CEL code read to see what it is. Go to an autoparts store some do scans for free

I got the code read, and an intake valve is stuck open. Its not a big deal really just tired of having the light on. They are gonna clear the code and when it starts warming up this weekend it should fix it. Why does the goofiest stuff happen to my 8? Oh well, i still love it
