Just reached 100,000 miles, chech engine light

How many miles are on this vehicle? It might be that the trip meter has turned on. The MINI has certain preset service based on mileage. When the miles reach a certain number, the "engine" light will come on. Oil changes, maintenance markers (45,000-100,000) You will need that OBD2 unit to cancel the notice light. Probably should change the oil, check all other fluids, brake pads & rotors, etc...

If you are saying it takes a long time to start the engine, have you checked fuel pressure before and after cranking ?

You did not make any mention of the check light
& checking for codes & resolving code related issues
first?

Why would the water as you say--coolant be low when
you seem to be checking things?

The gas smell,check light & codes your about to get, may
point to a leaking injector & you will have to change oil &
filter as well when resolved

The front or upstream oxygen sensors should have been
replaced years ago at 100,000 miles

Upon reaching 100,000 miles all service enging lights do come on, Have the light reset by a technician if you do your maintenance yourself

This is Toyota's scheduled maintenance for the RAV4 at 100,000 miles...

Replace engine oil and oil filter 1
Rotate tires
Replace engine coolant 2
Visually inspect brake linings/drums and brake pads/discs
Applicable Footnotes:
1) Reset the oil replacement reminder (“MAINT REQD”) light after replacing engine oil, if vehicle is equipped with this light.
2) Initial replacement at 100,000 miles/120 months. Replace every 50,000 miles/60 months thereafter. Refer to "Engine Coolant" in the "Explanation of Maintenance Items" section in the back of this guide for more information.

Hello, according to Snap-On / Shopkey / General Drivers,
For your 2004 Ford Taurus:
1. Inspect Accessory Drive Belt 2. Perform Multi-Point Inspection (Recommended) 3. Replace Engine Coolant 4. Replace Engine Oil 5. Replace Engine Oil Filter 6. Replace PCV Valve 7. Replace Spark Plugs 8. Rotate Tires.
This is going by the general consensus from Snap-On tools and Ford Motor Co. Hope this helps :)

I would recommend getting the transmission serviced, and the antifreeze changed.

If you have an 07 then you have a 100,000 mile warranty. If you are under that then let a dealer worry with it. If not go to Auto Zone and they will scan it for free, then you can better determine what direction to go. Good Luck

i have 2003 trailblazer ltz 153 000 mileage i have code po440 .i changed gas cap and turned off the chech engine light... i made 300 miles and it was good and today morning i drove a mile and light turned on ..... what do i have to fix ...thanks

Hi If you have not notice any changes in the engine performance is very posible that the oxigen sensor is defective, they last about 60,000 miles, if you have a utozone or chekers store near by they will diagnosis your car at no charge,C1....
