When I started my car again, the "check engine" light came on for no apparant reason...no rough idle...no overheating, nothing. My best guesses are a dirty K&N filter (it really needs to be cleaned, either way), or perhaps an oil change (i just bought the car so I don't know when the last time that was done)and advice would be much appreciated! -Dan M.- 98.5 Black SVT -It's faster than walking

If you can get the code there are people on here, myself included, that can tell you what it means. � Jon Miconi � 96 Contour Zetec ATX � 80 Ramcharger 360 ATX � 77 Ramcharger 440 ATX
