Oh god.... "Check engine light"
Friday, April 01, 2005 1:04 PM
Ok, the check engine light came on on the 04 cavi 2.2 ecotec. Engine still runs fine, just floored it to check for misfiring, didnt have any. Couldent happen to be overdue for an oil change. (6000 miles overdue)

Or maby GM did that as an april fools joke, who knows.

my magic 8 ball says, "the flux copacitor is worn out" lmfao, like with what you said, ANYONE would know why it came on.... go get it scanned, then ask about what the code means....OR buy a manual, and look up the code yourself... ding ding ding...

Its under warranty, take it to the dealer and they will probabally throw in a new 02 sensor and youll be good to go. Thats most likely what it is. You could always tighten the gas cap and disconnect the battery for half and hour and see if it comes back on.

......stupid gas cap. What the hell was GM thinking with a "Gas cap sensor"? Geez, I like the "Hey, fuel's spillin on the road, tighten the gas cap" idia better. Or a light.

Wow.....and why are you not allowed to do this? Is it because it may be safe to do in the rest of the country, but in New Jersey people are too stupid to know how to work a gas pump? Why don't they let you pump your own gas?

yea really, that doesn't seem right, whatever...so some attendant just comes out and pumps your gas?

Re: Oh god....
Saturday, April 09, 2005 3:35 PM
yea mine is on too, and its not my gascap. im just too lazy to take it to the dealer. pretty sure its my o2 sensor though

Re: Oh god....
Saturday, April 09, 2005 10:08 PM
mines gone off three times for the gascap. i have an aftermarket locking gascap to keep assclowns out of my tank, but sometimes it causes the sensor to get confused.

whoa whoa, ur kidding me right???? the whole jersey thing?? woww what else are you not allowed to do in NJ?? is it a law to steer and apply the gas pedal too?

the law must have been passed after some politicians wife or family member blew themselves up putting in their own gas , so to resolve it they come up with the idea of hiring dropouts to do the job better


lol
Re: Oh god....

most likely it is the o2 sensor cuz thats pretty common so your better off goin with out ur car for a day or 2 and getting it fixed

here you can get 5 yrs in prison if your on your cell phone, but you get a ticket if your smoking WHILE pumping the gas.. now ask yourself which one is more dangerous?!
its kinda like a buddy of mines he got 5yrs in prison for protecting his property when someone robbed him (broke in his house)he beat him senseless, but another guy i saw in the news got 3 yrs for attempted murder... go figure

Smoking when pumping gas happens alot around here for some reason i mean a cracked out lab monkey can understand that gas is flammable, now lets just add a cig. to it.. silly twats


beer is like a chick.. well not really its just beer, it be cool thou huh?
