Ok, This is serious, my check engine light came on a while ago, took it to autozone and they said my car didn't have to adapter to use the free checker thing he said to unplug my battery for like 10 min see if it goes off, it did so I was like ok cool, I got street glow had all that and my system going draining my battery and then the next mroning light was on again and I didn't want my mom to freak cuz she's stupid so I just disconnected the battery again and it went off one more time now this is the 3rd time that it's been on so obviously it's something serious and I need to stop avoiding it but there or NO symptoms what so ever, car idles perfect, no smoke, no smells, smooth ride the only thing AT ALL that my car does is it whistles when you first start it up, sounds like a squeaky belt or something, could this be the problem and if so how to fix it?, but has anyone had this with nothing wrong with the car??. sorry for the long post but I need to know
 
maybe you should stop spedign money on stupid shit like "street glow", "blitz body kit" and "lambo doors" and actualyy learn something about you can and how to properly take care of it.

1. All 2G have OBDII adapter under the dash on passanger side

2.Disconnecting the battery just resets the ECU it does not fix the problem. It does not equal hitting CTRL+ALT+DELETE on your computer, the light will come one again.
