It's supposed to be "Eifel." Transliteration to Arabic and back to Latin does this. The "Porn" store is supposed to be "Born."

Protip right here. Wish I'd known about those connectors before, I hate vital information about the car being right there and not having access to it.

Nowadays it's even cheaper/easier because you can buy a Bluetooth OBDII dongle and use your phone as the scanner. Ask about this in AI.

Kinda sucks because there is no reason in the world why the error condition has to be reported as a code that can only be read by a tool and looked up in a mechanic's reference, rather than, you know, "P0171 - vacuum leak on bank 1" on the nifty LCD cluster all cars have nowadays

Well, no technical reason anyway.

Yeah but it might be a good idea to use that same reader to see what error codes are present since it may not have illuminated for just no reason at all.

Places like autozone will use theirs for you for free even. The light is on on my car and it's apparently a leak in the air seal on a solenoid that's only there to help fuel efficiency and doesn't actually affect the car's ability to work so I'm in no rush to replace it.

If you live in a state where your vehicle has to be inspected, having a check engine light on will fail your inspection. So in places like New York, you HAVE to fix whatever problem is causing the check engine light, or you can't legally drive your vehicle.

Just be glad the obd standard was forced on manufacturers. It used to be Ford had one connector, Honda another, bmw a third etc. Anything pre 96 give or take and you wind up with scan tools for one make and a small range of years.

You realise that replacing it would probably save you fuel in the long run?

Every check engine light I've ever had has been a faulty knock sensor, which as far as I can tell is a sensor that's put in the engine to become faulty and trigger the check engine light.

What kind of car is it? It is very likely that it requires premium or midgrade fuel and you are using regular.

Check your manual, there's usually a distinction between "something's funky" and "turn off engine RIGHT loving NOW!". The first can be all sorts of minor crap like strange sensor readings. I had a CEL in my miata because the speed sensor had a bad connection and dropped out occasionally. Simply re-seating it fixed it.

The marriage equality going on in Australia right now is very much not a Good Thing since it features such rigorously intellectual anti-same sex marriage arguments as "Children might see a picture of gays kissing", "What if a school boy wants to wear a dress?" and "If gays can get married, if I say I'm married people might think I'm a gay?"

Well yeah. The problem is the check engine light covers too many sensors, everything from "Hey, you're engine is about to explode" to "The gas cap is slightly loose."

That seems really silly. Why is it still a light instead of wee LED screen that could tell you the actual problem? Even printers and cheap MP3 players have tiny LED screens now.
