I know there was another posting about the Check Engine light and how it goes on and off frequently. I don't know if this is just coincidental or factual but oh well it might help.
I came home from a vacation of about 4 days and my 94 LX had been sitting on a decline in my driveway the entire time. So when I got home I had missed driving her around and was very sick of my grandmothers PT-Cruiser that I had been driving. So I was just going to go to the gas station to fill'er up and on the way there the Check Engine light came on, I basically had a heart attack, because I basically have absolutely no budget to fix anything .
So after about 3 weeks I was just about to take'er in with barrows money. But the night before I was at a relatives and parked on their driveway backwards and ended up spending the night. The next day when I started her the Check Engine light turned off like normal.
Of course I was ecstatic, but then got to thinking that maybe it had something to do with the inclines and declines of parking it kind of made sense, well to me anyway.
So if this happens to you try parking on the opposite angle of when it first turned on. Good Luck!
This one is mine......and I lover'er
