Service Engine Soon
my service engine soon light went on today. It has happened before but i can never figure out what it is. It only goes on when i drive long distances, and the gas peddle is held down for a long time. Does anyone know why this is happening. I hava a crack in my radiator, could this be it.

Re: Service Engine Soon
What year is your car? If you have OBDII, just go to Autozone and borrow a scan tool. It's free to use and you just follow the simple directions.

Re: Service Engine Soon
well if your engine is overheating because your out of coolant, yeah your engine light will come on..
But if not, it sounds like its probably an EGR or emmisions related problem.. Pull your codes to find out why its on.. find your OBD port, jump the top two pins farthest to the passenger side together.. and turn your ignition on (dont start the car) your codes will be relayed via the engine light

Re: Service Engine Soon
Does it flash on or just come on?

Re: Service Engine Soon
just pull the codes as I mentioned, that will tell you exactly why the engine light is coming on
