[@daveporter4667]

If all your fluid levels are full don't worry about a stupid check engine light.. that's why they call it idiot lights. Don't be a idiot

[@albertomartinez2345]

Car companies, or truck companies, should make very reliable ingines, or motors, with all this technology that is available, the consumer should not be afraid buying any vehicle out there , I hate it when some one goes to the dealer and he or she ends up getting a lemon, that's so horrible, shame on the dealerships out there !!!

[@edwardbonner9365]

If that light comes on,it’s the start of your worst nightmare trying to find a cure .

[@davidweum]

Ignore it. My check oil light came one. I do my own oil it's perfect

[@carolloveskiwis]

Do you have a recommendation of what brand stand alone scanner to use other than the FIXD unit? FIXD constantly charges $ upgrades every time you use it. I don't want to use a phone app every time I need to find out what's wrong and be charged an upgrade. Any suggestions for a good entry level unit that a non- mechanic like myself can use that will let me know what the code means? Thanks. I love your vids. You are so helpful and provide easy explanations! ❤️

[@yaboiskinnymalone836]

i don’t understand why they’re charging you to check vehicle codes, maybe try investing into another OBD2 scanner that doesn’t do that? Walmart has one thats 30$ and isn’t in a phone, cable connects to little device that will show you different results or you can check your local Auto Part Store like AutoZone or O’Reily to see if they have any OBD2 Scanners that you’re interested in

[@yaboiskinnymalone836]

Innova 3020 CanOBD2 Diagnostic Tool 46.99$ @AutoZone, just connect and see what you’re issues are, can also erase Codes and remove check engine light but will continue to show if the root problem isn’t fixed

[@danielchavira9968]

I have had my engine light on for 7 months none blink it’s just on.

[@bigmac3069]

Every Dodge Ram has one

[@icemancometh8679]

My sister bought a car that had low miles and the airbag light was lit up. I read where if the car set for a while and the battery went dead when they charge it back up this light might come on. In any case, whoever drove the car before didn't like the light, so they put black tape over it ha ha. Because it's an air bag warning light, it's nothing to mess with. She was going to have it looked at.

[@RetroPCUser]

My engine light would be on for 2 days and would be off for 2 days (O2 Sensor Bank 1 Sensor 2 Performance P0141), but after the O2 sensor was replaced, no more codes.

[@MadNotAngry]

Learning lots from watching your great vids, thanks! Something else I've noticed from watching your vids? You start most every sentence with "Now ..."

[@icemancometh8679]

Now now your mom always told you if you can't say something nice don't say anything at all.

[@kennethwallace4338]

Check engine light, check, black electric tape, check.

[@akkarparkiamopas3401]

This is very helpful brief. Straight to the point. Thanks

[@marie2511]

Thank for this video and the explanation! My engine light came on during evening rush on my way home and I was very anxious until I got home. Praying it doesn't start flashing until I can get in for a tune-up. Appreciate your work!

[@faizaasim1256]

My car stops repeatedly showing engine sign

[@SiporahGiaikre]

I have problem with my toyota hiace bus engine light on when installing new injector pump..no power to climb mountakns..whats the problem?

[@mjl.9-19]

Best CEL vid. Thank you.

[@yves6005]

I don't have a gas cap just a flap

[@amverMSchneid]

I have a question, so My husband's chevy silverado 2018 also got that solid engine light On, and when we went to the Dealership they said they didn't knowwhat's the problem, they try to open the flap on the front where air would regulate the engine or whatever it was, not really sure what term he use, but yeah that and whenever we drive say it's around 50km to 60km our vehicle would just shake/ vibrate like crazy, and the dealership still don't know what's wrong even tho they already tried to drive it to feel what we are talking about. Anyone here got any idea what we can do bout our vehicle. Coz this one makes me nervous everytime we drive. Thank you

[@THEjcbella]

Economy of words. Lays out all the possible problems with possible solutions. Blinking vs Solid. 👍

[@HaroldPierce-x3y]

I had my oil change and my check engine light came on i went back and he said its nothing he can do

[@Spork123able]

Just ignore it! 😄

[@Fizzbann]

Can't find the OBD I reader or similar like I had these days. My plugs got taken here and there, and eventually threw it out as I couldn't get new plugs for it. I still drive 90 model chevy trucks, and now fixing up an 89 Ford. An OBD1 scanner would be nice since I don't like poking a paperclip in just to miss how many flashes went by before I could get up. Haha

[@JacobTale-rj9pp]

My engine can't start again after 20minutes drive with check engine lights ON .Any tips?

[@ahmokmokhtar4188]

[@MrKeelan74]

Thanks, great video.

[@willkincaid5841]

Uncle Tony. I love your videos man hands down cause I've been working on engines since I was a kid from go kart, to 4 wheeler and muscle cars, built my first Pontiac 400 with 4x heads out of a ram air 3 gto I believe I might be wrong on that. But i bought the 79 trans am for 500 with engine in parts. Had minor problems but it was a torque beast. I'd love to send pics. But something I'd like to see you do is a 240sx cause I fell in love with them light well 10 years ago uber cheap. I think it's awesome your doing the miata. I think there are some other vewiers like me. That could see uncle tony drifting or a dragging it. Just throwing it out there

[@albertomartinez2345]

Shame on American made vehicles, for not making very reliable vehicles, and than if the American consumer's wants a reliable vehicle he or she ends up paying a fortune for that car or truck, why, dealers are money hungry, any American made vehicle should extremely reliAble ad fur I'm cuncern, because I'm sick and tired people comparing ,forain made cars or trucks, white American made transportation, it the U.S. can make it, than make it that it will last, ok, Rock On. !!!
