I don't know what else to do. If any of you know about troubleshooting this pls do help. pleasy pls.:screwy:

ooops wrong place to post

Take it to autozone, ask nicely for one if them to come out from behind the counter to check the CEL code, write down the number, after get back & tell us what the code is. Also tell us how many miles U got one the car.

I don't understand. You meant go there by internet or by person? What's the CEL code for? And i have an idea.. what if i just disconnect the battery then reconnect it? That might work. Because there aren't any problems with my emission. And also, that engine check figure only concern the air filter, radiator and oil right? (and the fuel cap too) Am i right? hit me back. My car's mileage is 208,000+ yeah i know it's overused.

CEL means “check engine light” if you take it to your nearest Auto-zone & ask nicely they’ll take out a code reader from behind the counter & hook it up under the dash, then they’ll print out a code for you which will tell you what’s wrong with it. After you did that get back too us & let us know what the code is.

If you disconnect the battery that may work, give it a try.
