Subject: Re: Curious Check Engine Light?


Dude! A THOUSAND BUCKS is way too much money to just fritter away like that! What if that ISN'T the problem? Man..... How about: Get a used one? "All cars run on used parts" is a slogan I hear constantly & it's true. Maybe you could get one for a $100 or so. Parts yards usually guarantee the parts, so..... If ya had a pal at a yard, you could get the brain & install it & if it didn't do the trick.... return it & pursue a different route. $1000 is a lot of dough to risk. GET A SECOND OPINION! BL PS: your car is so new I doubt that the brain would die. My 1983 brain is still fine.... uhhhh ECM that is! PPS: If your car runs OK, but it's just the light.... why spend $1000? Just live with the light or take the bulb out. PPPS: Time for a service? That's what the LIGHT ON is for! PPPPS: I need coffee! ack!
