2000 Firebird Question

My service engine soon light will not go off and there doesn't seem to be any problems. We think that it came on because we didn't have the gas cap on tight enough but we have filled up a couple of times since then and it is still on. Has this happened to anyone else?

it has happened to me many a times. It doesn't necessarily mean that there is a problem. My light came on not to long ago and all i had to do was take it to a car place and have them reset it. You are supposed to check engine, oil, etc. every soo many days. But it doesn't go by what condition the car is in, it is programmed on a time limit. Just take it in to Midas or something and have them reset the light. I know, that little light gets annnoying.

wow,mine just came on a few days ago.could it be the gas cap?thta hard to believe it could be the gas cap.

or if youve checked everything out and your car seems fine, just disconnect the positive battery cable, wait for a few seconds, and put it back on. this will reset the engine light as well

mine was going on and off at certain times it ended up being the crank sensor and the egr the map sensor and the o2 sensors all at different times but all had to be replaced

Thanks for all your help! I really appreciate all the posts. We'll try disconnecting the cable first and see what happens.

I am loving the car!
