#374 of 383 check engine light in my Acura 3.0 Cl by futbol1 Sep 07, 2006 (4:40 pm)
The check engine light just came on while driving my 1997 3.0 CL. It has 99,000 miles and I'm planning to drive it for at least another 100k miles. The owner's manual tells me that it may be problem with the emission control sensor. I don't want to take it to the dealer because I've been ripped off in the past. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks.

Replying to: futbol1 (Sep 07, 2006 4:40 pm) You probably should post that question here:   Check Engine Light Topic   You can usually get your car's computer codes read for free at Autozone. Without the code, you're in the dark.   MrShiftright Host Replies to this message: futbol1 (Sep 08, 2006 8:56 am) Mr_Shiftright (Sep 08, 2006 10:00 am) futbol1 (Sep 17, 2006 5:05 pm) Mr_Shiftright (Sep 19, 2006 8:24 am)

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Sep 08, 2006 6:16 am) Thanks for the info Mr Shiftright. I checked with autozone in Miami, Dade county, Florida. For some reason Dade County doesn't allow Autozone to check for codes. However, Autozone is allowed to do it at the next county, Broward. In Dade county, Autozone will rent the computer to you for $78.00. Once you do it yourself you return the computer and get a refund. I found a place in Miami that will check the codes for free. I plan to do it today. Thanks. Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Sep 08, 2006 10:00 am) futbol1 (Sep 17, 2006 5:05 pm) Mr_Shiftright (Sep 19, 2006 8:24 am)

#378 of 383 led upgrade by jrieger Sep 15, 2006 (5:19 am)
Hello, I have a 2002 Lincoln LS and am wanting to replace incondescent bulbs with LED's. I have found that my car is sending pulsed current to my bulbs wnen the car is not running. The LED's actually pulse about 15-20 times per second. This is not noticable in the inc. bulbs because of the slowness of the cooling of the element. Does anyone have a reason for this? Anyone you can suggest I speak with. ALSO, do I have to return to this forum to find responses to my question, or do I merely sign in? Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Sep 19, 2006 8:22 am)

Replying to: futbol1 (Sep 08, 2006 8:56 am) I had the computer hooked up to my CL at Giant Tire in Miami. Result: Code PO401, Insufficient EGR flow detected. It can be corrected at the dealer for over $1000. Or maybe replace the catalytic converter for a cheaper price. The mechanic said that if the car is running good wait until you detect any problem then look for a solution. Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Sep 19, 2006 8:24 am)

Replying to: futbol1 (Sep 17, 2006 5:05 pm) This might be a good place for you to post your question:   http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/WebX/.ee9949a   And no, I don't think it's good advice to ignore a check engine light.
