">Now this is very interesting. After all the hype and mention of being ASE certified, on the top of the mechanic's hierarchy, and the challenge to "find out the facts", it turns out that either you are NOT who you say you are, or you dont know your own credentials that well........
 
I took the challenge you posted on this page 10-Jan-2008 and found that you (#284385 aka RWCarroll) actually have been expired since Jul-2001. No one has to take my word for it, though. All anyone has to do is request a Cert form at the ASE website, fax it in to ASE 703-669-6122 and you will get a response within two days.
 
You actually did not prove anything about yourself...

Engine Malfunction Light Stays On by ptuser

I had the original battery replaced on my 2002 PT Cruiser Ltd at Sam's Club on March 13. The terminals and cables were corroded so they cleaned the terminals (not the corrosion on the cables) but did not replace the cables. On March 14, after using a half tank of gas bought at the usual place, the engine malfunction light came on. I checked the gas cap and it's tight. The car runs fine however there is a bing when I first start up. I read that I can hurt the engine by continuing to run it with the light on and I should take it to the dealer.
 
What can be the problem? Any opinions?

I believe places like AutoZone still offer a free diagnostic code scan. Call around some of the big chain auto parts stores and ask.
 
The dealer is going to charge you a big fee just for scanning the fault code, before he even fixes anything.

2004 pt cruiser cool vanilla or lemon! by neveragain8

I purchased a 2004 pt cruiser new. The vehicle had electrical concerns when I owned it two years. The door locks would go up and down by themselves. I nicknamed her Christine and took it to the dealership. It was a door lock actuator.
Covered by the warranty. I have had to replace the battery twice. Last October I was driving up a grade on the freeway and the car made a horrible noise and started smoking and stalled on the 101. Very scary there was smoke in the car and fluid leaking all around.
I had it towed to a Chrysler dealership and they told me that it was a clutch and they needed to replace the clutch assembly. The vehicle had 27k miles on it!
This was not covered. So we paid for the checkout and towed it to a dealership where I worked and they took it apart and told us it was the clutch assembly flywheel, the trans case had a huge hole in it!
This should have been seen if it was taken apart by the Chrysler dealership
The vehicle has been hesitating for the past three weeks and the check engine light came on. We replaced the gas cap and the light went off. Well now the light is back on and now hesitates when I turn on the heater or a/c. Any suggestions
besides trading it in on a honda?
