Help me explore timing belt repair
Darn! (You probably say something worse. ) Do you keep going (after all, it's not flashing, yet) or turn around? That check engine light could indicate the presence of any number of issues, from a loose gas cap to an engine misfire, some of which may lead to serious damage and expensive repairs at some point in the future. Your car's on board computer constantly monitors for operational irregularities and sends out a signal whenever it detects an activity that is not quite right. The computer will first try to correct the problem itself, but when it can't, it lets you know by illuminating the check engine light. When that happens, you need to pull over, turn off the car and check your gas cap.
