Reasons to Stop Ignoring Your Check-Engine Light

Not knowing the reason your check-engine light is on can be very irritating. Most people will continue to ignore the warning as long as they feel their car is still running smoothly. But, your vehicle is in need of a diagnosis! Without one, you could be causing additional harm to your vehicle. This could ultimately result in spending more money on repairs than if the problem was fixed from the start. Occasionally, the fix is as easy as tightening your gas cap, which is the first thing you should check when your light goes on. If the check-engine light remains on after a few days then there could be a problem with the vehicles fuel, ignition or emissions system. If the light is flashing, this is serious. It could mean there was a misfire, which needs immediate attention from an auto technician. If your vehicle is telling you something is wrong, you should take care of the problem. Doing so will help you stay safe while keeping money in your pocket!
