Check Engine

ouch...I hope thats a 350 V8

This is so annoying...the only thing wrong with the car is the check engine light comes on for no reason.

That light means that a mechanic is in need of collecting some money.

It's been coming on and going off ever since it hit 60,000 miles. Took it in, they couldn't find anything wrong with it. Been ignoring it ever since. 100,000 miles later it still purrs like a kitten. Foreign of course, or it wouldn't be running at all by now.

You could call Tom & Ray at Car Talk. They might well second the advice to use black electrician's tape. :-)

usually egr valve or the intakes to the egr valve have carbon build up and needs to be cleaned. Or, I guess it could be a short to the light. I hate the friggin engine light when it comes on.

Mine does the same thing, I've been running it that way for last couple years and haven't had any problems, mechanics can't fix it unless they disconnect the wiring to the display. I figure it is some kind of a sensor that didn't get cleaned or reset when I had the engine serviced.

There are dozens of reasons why a check engine light can come on none of which has anything to do with the engine. Try checking your gas cap. If you don't get a good seal, sometimes that can cause the check engine light.
