my warning egine light is on
I live in canada (montreal) so i had stored my car for the winter (6 months) in my heated garage
Before i storage the car i went to tank up the car with gas I went to Petro Canada and used 94 octane and i also added about 500ml a small bottle of gas stabilizer I had disconnected the negative side of the battery for storage So today after 6 month of storage i reconnected the battery Started the car drove it out of the garage and after idling for a about a minute and on the dash the slip indicator light came on the engine light came on and has i press on the gas paddle to move the car it wouldn't go i gave gas and i would see the RPM up needle go just up a little and back down So i turn off the car Waited a minute and re started the car this time the Slip Indicator light was not present good but the engine light was still lit but i was able to drive the car And the car drove very well i notice no problems while driving the only thing is the engine light is on Does anyone know why this engine light is still on thanks |
Need codes
|
take to dealer should be under warranty unless battery is bad. diag should be free or local auto parts store.
|
it a manual transmission
The car only has 2900km If i continue to drive the car with the engine light on is this dangerous for the car Do i have to bring the car in right away |
You can drive, it'll be fine. But either bring it to the daler or get the codes pulled at any auto parts store.

Yesterday i brought the car to the dealer when i started the car the engine light was on
Drove it to the dealer parked the car The lady told me to bring the car in So i restarted the car and the engine light was did not appear The service guy told me well no need to leave the car with us He told me maybe because the car was in storage for 6 months with the battery disconnected The car is running fine and the engine light is not there any more |
Did they try to scan for any saved codes?
The problem with these damn dealerships is they won't touch anything unless they themselves are able to reproduce the issue on the spot... That's very frustrating for the buyers of first years models. |
The ethonal in the 94 has prolly turned to water and may have gummed up your fuel system, always only store with ethonal free gas. Use an injector cleaner and some octane booster. And fill up with fresh gas if you can. That should help.
