check engine light?

[Libila]

Ok I was driving up a hill going 60mph in 5th gear and the car started to buck a little bit. I let off the gas and the check engine light came on. I just pulled over and came home. The weird thing is that I am not leaking anything, the car runs and idels fine, it was boosting fine, and the engine temp is right in the middle. I just got a oil change today so I dont know if that had anything to do with it. I know this is pretty vague but this is all I can figure out. Please help

What's your mileage? Could be a bad O2 sensor.

Also, you can take your car to an autozone & they can read the code for you.

Or, you can cycle the ignition key on-off-on-off-on within 5 seconds. Watch the check engine light, the flashes will give you the error code.

Probably easiest to go to autozone.

Well I let my car warm up this morning so I could take it over to auto zone and I just checked under the car before I left and I do have a leak, a gas leak. It looks like it is coming from the area by the oil filter, which they replaced in the oil change yesterday. So maybe they knocked a gas line loose or something. Those basterds really make me angry, the cracked my back bumper too. Well Im going to see if I can trace that leak and see if that does anything to fix it.

I fixed it! I noticed that one of my fuel injectors was loose and was spiling fuel everywhere! I pushed it back in and the check engine light turned off a couple hours later. Im not sure why the injector was out though. Any suggestions?

Just for fun...... Disconnect the battery for a few minutes, then reconnect [to reset the ECU & clear the stored codes]. Drive around like normal and if the CEL lights, get the code..... and write back to us.

Thanks & good luck!!!!

.... Just keep an eye on that injector!
