If you can drive your car to the store; you can go to an "O'Rilley's Part Store" or a parts store that will let you use one of their "Code Checkers".

You can also purchase a code checker if you would like to own one of your own.

HelloWhen the service engine soon light (Also called the check engine light or engine management light) is turned on this is to alert you to the fact that Powertrain Control Module (computer) has detected a failure somewhere in the systems it controls you may not feel any difference in the way the engine runs, this can be the transmission or the engine or emission system, there are fault codes set in the modules memory for these faults. What needs to happen now is to have the powertrain control module scanned with a special tool called an OBD2 electronic engine control scanner or a OBD2 code reader. Once the code(s) are read then you must perform the diagnostics for each code and make the appropriate repairs based on the findings of the diagnosis that was performed, this is called doing "Pinpoint" testing.

blowing a fuse when you shift to drive ? check wires coming out of shift switch on top of engine. it kinda looks like a **** shell sorta. there is a wire tie that rubs the insulation off and it grounds it out. had the same deal. have someone shift it while you look at the engine .you will see it moving .

check under the car by the gas tank

This happened to my 98 metro. It was a broken wire under the dash near the brake pedal. I guess i hit it enough with my big fat foot enough to make it break eventually. It started of as a flickering of the lights at it made intermittent contact as it was slowly breaking.I soldered it back together and put some heat shrink tubing over the solder joint.

replace the heater core as this has to heat up for the a/c to work but when it goes bad the floor will get wet

Hello, you will get this problem if your vehicle was switched off and not running, because you are not getting assistance to your brake booster from your engine (not running). Have your brake booster looked at immediately, your brakes will not work properly, it will get worse.

hello,
the check engine light is used as a general warning or fault. A flashing check engine fault could be to an ignition problem. This is a bit more seriuos than just getting a static fault, Did it start flashing as you were accelerating? A tune up could solve the problem. If your going to do it yourself, I would first take the car into a local parts store and ask them if they have an OBD reader.Many do, and will check it for free. doing this will give you more clues as to what could be causing your check engine light to come on. I don't believe the gas your using should be a problem.
Hope this helps
