Check Engine

Is there a way to see why my light went on with out it costing alot of money to check it. i was driving home when i noticed my light started to blink then it stopped blinking and stayed on. then started blinking again. does anybody have a clue?

A 98 Aurora has a true OBDII system. You should be able to buy a cheap $30-50 scantool. My car is a 95. It was a transition year between a OBDI and II so I had to buy a $500 scanner to read it. But anything 96 and later can use the cheap OBDII tool. And I believe that Autozone will scan your car for free.

Go to any Autozone store. They will use there scan tool & tell you what system in your car caused your light to come on, at no charge.
If you plan on doing your own work, it's a good idea to purchase your own diagonstic tool.

Sorry, dmorlow, I now see you had allready posted the same info that I did.
