The light illuminates when there is a malfunction of an exhaust gas related component, and the system is not functioning properly so that the exhaust gas regulation values are not satisfied What does this mean? I have hardly even been driving it at all the last two months. It says to go to the dealer but that is pretty far away and my warranty expired anyway and I cannot afford anything expensive right now. Does anyone know what this might mean and if I should even worry about it or is it something real simple? thanks!
Form-a-gasket does poorly, but aluminum foil is cheep, and works fine. Use contact adhesive to stick to the cabinet.
exhaust gas regulation values Im guessing you are getting an egrcode. it actually means exhaust gas recirculation valve. nothing to worry about. you can drive the car with no problem. the problem will come up when it is time for emissions/smog test. the car will fail. other that that, no reason not to drive it.
It's most likely mis fireing or not burning all the gas so it goes in the exhaust system. I would take it to a dealer before it turns into a serious problem.
Hey, relax, just drive your car to the nearest auto parts store. Most of them will read your computer codes for you for free. This will at least give you an idea of the source of the problem, but don't buy anything until you've tested the components that the code readings indicate. Many times your sensors are indicated as the source of the problem when all they're doing is indicating that a problem exists. You need to do a little research once you've got some sensors to test. Test procedures are available on the internet by Googling how to test whichever sensor or component the code reader has indicated. Once you've tested the sensors and they're found to be ok, you'll need to find out what is causing them to give you an out of range reading.
