Check engine lights come on for a reason read on please.

The information below was complied by me, it explains what causes the check engine light to come on and the process of finding the cause.

When the Check Engine light (or Service Engine Soon or small picture of an engine) is turned on, the systems computer control unit (called the PCM) has sensed a fault in the electronic controls of the engine and/or the emission system. When this happens you will seldom feel the car engine run any different. There are about 200 possible system faults (the gas cap is just one of them) that turn the Check Engine light on, to know what has developed a problem you must have the system tested, this is called an OBD2 fault code test, Kragen/Oriley and Autozone parts stores (USA only) do this testing for free.

I think this is the O2 sensor - It will run fine but you might notice your gas mileage slipping and will not pass emissions.

In most cases this means the O2 sensor is defective.

Did you forget to tighten the gas cap correctly? This has caused many many lights to come on. If not, then drive it till you can get it to the dealer.

It sounds like you have either a lean or rich condition ocurring,could be exuast leak,vac leak,leaking fuel preasure regulator,cat convertor.At this point would go to dealer for diagnosis.

Check engine light is back on on a Hyundai Accent 2005

Most major automotive parts stores will read the check engine light codes for free. That will lead you into the direction of what needs to be repaired. Clock would most likely not be related to the check engine light..

My 2003 Hyundai Accent computer was read due to the Check Engine light coming on. The code that came up was a p2096-Post Catalyst Fuel System Too Lean. The guy said he never saw that code come up before...

Not a valid trouble code for 2003 Hyundai Accent but it is valid for 2004 Mazda RX-8. You don't replace ANYTHING until you find out why the mixture is too lean. This could be caused by at least 20 different things. If your shop doesn't know how to diagnose the root problem, find a shop that does. If you start throwing parts at this without diagnosing, you could easily drop $1,000 and still not fix the problem.

Lifter problem in 2001 Hyundai accent GL

The noise you hear could very well be a lifter. But that is not what is causing your engine light to come on. The engine light problem can be diagnosed by having the codes read. You can have this done for free at most national parts chains such as Advance or Auto Zone. Good luck! I hope you find this to be very helpful!

I have 2001 hyundai accent won't shift into o/d everytime.

Did the 'Check Engine' Light come ON? Whenever the 'CHECK ENGINE' light comes on, the ECU (Engine Control Unit) sets a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC). These codes identify the particular engine management system which caused the light to come on.
You'll need to use/find an OBDII (On-Board Diagnostic) Scanner to retrieve any code which have been stored in the ECU computer. Afterward, we might be able to help you DIAGNOSE and perhaps eventually fix the problem.

Hi I have a 2001 hyundai accent, the car it drinking alot of engine oil and there is no leak or excess exhaust fumes - this yellow check engine light is also always on. What would this indicate?

Take it to a shop that can read the codes from the computer. It's called an OBD scan. As for the oil problem there is only 2 ways it can be leaving the engine. 1 is that it's being burned which is will have blueish smoke coming from the exhaust. 2 is a leak. I always try to park on some clean cardboard and that makes it easy to see the drops. If it doesn't leak while just sitting there have it run for 15mins while on the cardboard. Oh and 3 someones letting it out. Do you have any enemies?
