my friend was driving my car and after a few instances of quick acceleration, the check engine light went on. The oil dip stick had a little bit of bubbles but after putting it in and out of the slot, it looked alright. It is the 2000 Volvo V70 XC with 92K miles. Everything has been done (timing belt, water pump, tensioners/pulleys, brakes, tranny oil, engine oil, etc) except tune up i dont think has been done ( i recently bought the car). After the light went on, i drove 10 miles on the highway home and it feels perfectly fine. What could this light mean? maybe disconnecting the batery might clear it? im trying to avoid a big repair bill as i just bought the car and dont have money
get tje vapor xxxx the warriors break easier. and the vapor is just a really nice stick
did u tighten your gas cap? use OBX II scanner to check the engine light code
Advanced Auto Parts stores have a machine that they can hook up to your car for free and it will tell you why your check engine light is on. If you don't have an Advanced Auto near you, most other car part chain stores will probably do this. However, the problem will probably require a mechanic to fix it. I had a problem that I ignored and it eventually led to a three thousand dollar repair! If I had just fixed the minor problem that was causing the light to go off, it would have only cost me fifty dollars.
A MIL (Malfunction Indicator Light) is there to warn the driver of a problem with the electronics and software management of the car. Most of the time related to emissions systems and their controls. Some cars will include computer software that allows the driver to continue to drive in a limp-mode. The problem will still be there until corrected by a qualified professional or at least in most cases. Don't know what else to say here. Sorry.
