why not just fix the problem. Thats like filling a flat tire everyday instead of just getting a new one.

Re: Check Engine light?
Ok well apparently it has something to do with a rollover gasket..?? I'm being told it's supposed to shut off the fuel if the car rolls over. I'm also being told that the only problems it could cause is that in the unlikely event that I DO flip the car and a fire starts that I would most likely burn to death because the fuel would keep pumping.. no biggie =)

Re: Check Engine light?
dude it probably a easy and chep fix, might as well be safe thn sorry, like someone else said how will you know if something else goes wrong...a good running car is something that you need before you start building on it...but if you want to burn alive thats your choice

Re: Re: Check Engine light?
not to mention when a chick sees it she will be like 'what a loser, his CEL is on'
oh and it is the most annoying light on the dash on a lighter note i wonder if you can sue the dealership for selling you a car that will catch fire if it flips over. that has to be some kind of safty violation. i would call a lawyer, but i live in cali where people sue everybody for everything
