I just bought a 2003 Corolla 71K miles end of feb. Now i haven‘t had a problem with the car at all but last week i had checked the antifreeze and the over Flow was dry in my old car i Always had it in there (told my mechanic to do so) now the radiator itself looked empty as well but when i filled it it didn‘t take much so im guessing there was some since i didn‘t overheat either. well now last night we went out and did a bunch of things came home got up at 5 this morning for work and my check engine light was on , so we didn‘t drive it. later on we checked fluid they are finei didn‘t get gas or anything i know that sometimes sets that light off but i did mess with it just in case its still on any idea what this lights on for?!?! can i go to like advanced auto part for a test?BTW- I heard that its my oxygen sensor. but if this is true. i just bought the car in feb in which it was also inspected as of 02/09. are they liable? even though my warranty is up?
First of all an engine light is there for one purpose only. That is emissions. If your car is running lean or rich, if a sensor that helps determine air/fuel ratio goes bad, etc. Too lean. Typically this is caused by false air Air entering the intake after the MAF sensor. Check for a Vacuum hose loose or disconnected. This is a typical problem after service. A tech will check your air filter and a vacuum line becomes disconnected from the box. Sometimes we find cracks in the intake itself. Run your engine and listen for a hissing sound. If you don't hear a sound there still may be a leak. Check all the vacuum lines. Have autozone run a code check for you. That should narrow your search. Hope this helps.
Just take the car into a shop. Lean codes are not indicative of bad oxygen sensors. You can google the causes of codes P0171, but the O2 sensor is not the problem.
a O2 sensor can go bad at any given time as far as the anti freeze park it where out can see a wet spot if there is a leak,could be the water pump is about to go out or a hose clamp is loose or bad hose.I don't think they are liable for any thing cars break.
ive never even seen wheels 47mm so i dont know wth that guy is talking about. small wheels run like 50 to 53 and then large is above. i dont even know if ive seen 50 for sure for street i recommend about 53 or 52 pretty much any brand is fine i like spit fire tho, i dont like rictas i had bones once they were pretty nice too.
