richgang:Richgang, and obviously you re such a rude fella. And I don't think you really deserve to be helped. I have always had this inkling that no kids in this section of nairaland, but having a rethink now. Even if you don't know who Gazzuzz is, you still have no reason to respond like that. You need to tender your expressed apology to him for using that word "mu**". BTW, Gazzuzz is a mech engineer who makes this forum lively for us as car owners. If not for people like him, we would be wasting money on our cars every week. |

richgang:I never took it personally. A malfunction indicator lamp (MIL), also known as a check engine light, is a tell-tale to indicate malfunction of a computerized engine management system. It is found on the instrument panel of most automobiles. When illuminated, it is typically either an amber or red color. On vehicles equipped with OBD-II, the light has two stages: steady (indicating a minor fault such as a loose gas cap or failing oxygen sensor) and flashing (indicating a severe fault, that could potentially damage the catalytic converter if left uncorrected for an extended period). When the MIL is lit, the engine control unit stores a fault code related to the malfunction, which can be retrieved with a scan tool and used for further diagnosis, the diagnosis maybe retrieved without a scan tool in some car models. The malfunction indicator lamp usually bears the legend check engine, service engine soon, or a pictogram of an engine. In the United States, specific functions are required of the MIL by EPA regulations.[1]//en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Check_engine_light |

richgang:If you said your car engine light been on.... and you show picture.... as normal human beings we would link the two and believe the photo is of your car. How on earth were we supposed to know it wasn't? ... and must you go this route to show a pic?...think we wouldn't know what is engine light on?...you insulted everybody here. I can now see why they charged you an arm and a leg... and still didn't fix the problem. I'd do the same. |

Gazzuz u sef get time. See how u don't make ur gang gang up on richgang. Make una pity the guy abeg. Anyway@ richgang: That light showing indicates that you should check your engine. Its called the Check Engine Light (CEL) or Malfunction Indication Lamp/ Light. (MIL). It will usually come on when there is a fault in either the engine or the transmission or any other related module. You will need a scanning device and a good degreel of automobile competence and knowledge to pull out stored fault codes. The fault code/s will link you directly to what the cause is. You can try with gazzuzz again if you are in lagos. He's not a bad guy as you may think. |
