man...this damn car is going to be the death of me...wont start today...this all started yesterday...i was driving and the check engine light came on, now it would turn right back off as soon as it came on. everytime it came on i could hear the ecu click as it turned on...when it clicked the car sputtered for the split sec it came on. once it was on the car was fine...it started doing it while i was on the freeway about 6-7 times per minute sometimes back to back. now i drove it all day long and the light came on less ans less. on one occasion the car backfired too.. it also seemed to come on a lot when i hit a pot hole or bump too...now i get in this morning to start and it wont turn over at all...i have full power and when i crank it i can barley hear what sounds like holding the button down on a lighter without lighting it letting the butane escape...just a faint hiss sound. but she wont start...any ideas? crankagle sensor...i dunno?
 
If you have someone near you with a pocketlogger, you can see what your car is complaining about and throwing that CEL light for. I think some Autozones even check CEL's for free. But your issue could be a few things. Bad pump, bad coil, bad ECU, or even bad CAS.
