There may be a possiblity of doing damage to the turbo if you continue to drive it this way. I would recommend either taking it to the dealer or a reputable repair shop in your area to have this repaired as soon as possible, as to not risk damaging the turbo. Hope this helps.

SOURCE: I have a 2005 Chevy Malibu. The check engine

"This indicates a fuel vapor leak in the EVAP control system. It means a very small leak has been detected. In fact, the leak can be from a hole as small as 0.04" in diameter. The (EVAP) emission control system prevents the escape of fuel vapors from a vehicle's fuel system. Fuel vapors are routed by hoses to a charcoal canister for storage. Later, when the engine is running a purge control valve opens allowing intake vacuum to siphon the fuel vapors into the engine."
Hope that helps..

you have to understand that there is a leak in the system other than the gas cap for the evaporative system. The system needs to be professionally closed, and smoke introduced into to find the leak, and a through component check, eg.. purge valve vapor canister vent solenoid all functioning correctly

You need an OBD II code reader or in some states the local auto parts stores will retireve the code(s) for you. retrieving the code(s) will tell you what is wrong and then you can figure out the best repair.

The check engine light popped on 2 days ago. I don't know why.

Check engine light can be due to any problem related to engine. It may be a false trigger due to sensor problem but its always advised not to drive the car with check engine light and contact the service center immediately.

The check engine light just started coming on.

have your alternator and battery check first, it is free at most big chain auto parts stores. Your check engine light system record problems in many sytems, it is also possible to have the auto parts store retrive the code, DO NOT ERRASE THE CODE UNTILL FIXED your mechanic will need them.

Service engine soon, TCS off, SLIP

The oil change wouldn't cause this problem. Just in-case, check the engine oil level.

There are many emission sensors in the car that will make the engine light come ON. Best way to find out what's going on is to have an auto-parts store hook up a engine code reader and tell you what the code means. Most auto-part store will do this for free.

Can't pass state inspection, changed EGR valve already, next?

I suggest quit hunting for maybes and rent an OBD code reader which ends up being free when you return it to the auto parts store. Connect it and find out what is causing the CEL condition. Normal issues are the O2 sensor, or sensors in the system.
