check engine light
Hi fellow s2kers

is this a coincidence or it's program to do so?

Thanks a bunch in advance.

check that your gas cap is tight as well. that causes a CEL every once in a while for me. takes a few days for it to clear after that.

this happened to me around the same milage take it to your nearest dealership and they are going to tell you that you need your valves adjusted and that one of your cylinders is misfiring causing your check engine light to come on. they will adjust your valves from what i remember for around $250. it was a routine fix from what the dealership said. they also said it happens all the time in s2k's

Update! the cel actually went away by itself, i believe it was the gas cap was loose ( that's what i meant by the oil cap......haha)
However, still gona get that checked out just to make sure it not the valves!
Again, thanks for the valuable feedbacks!
