The only thing left is the injector or a vacuum leak on the manifold gasket sucking air in and causing a lean condition. Thats is its the only common issue providing you dont have a head gasket issue leaking coolant on that cylinder and the compression and valves are not leaking. The old spark plug should show a coolant issue if present. The white part will be shiney if you have a coolant loss. If the coolant is looking real dark you should have the cooling system checked for gas being pushed into the cooling system on compression stroke thru the head gasket.

Tighten up the gas cap.Since it came on right after you put gas in your car this is most likely what it is.After a number of cycles of the key the light should go out on its own.(Don't remember the number of times you have to cycle the key)

No need to guess. Take the vehicle to one of the Major auto parts stores like Auto Zone and ask them to connect their scanner to it and identify the fault code. That will tell you what needs to be replaced. As far as dust getting into a sensor, that's a new one and original. Definitely find another shop to work on your vehicle in the future as it doesn't sound like those guys know what a wrench is.

I have a 2013 Hyundai veloster Turbo. I got gas 17 miles from my house. My husband went out, went on hiway, car lost power, bucked & "run rough". I tried to drive it and check engine light flashes.

you screw the cap on and the cover is what clicks in place
if it will not click in place , probably because the cap is not fully screwed down
have the fault codes read

I just bought a 1999 Saab 9-5 v6 and the check engine light came on yesterday and today on the way home from work my dash lights went out?????

Hi, this sounds like a voltage issue to me. Did all the lights go out on the dash, including the check engine light. Your best bet is to get the fault codes read at a local garage (not the main dealer unless you have money to burn). They should be able to give you indication of what caused the light to come on and you can take it from there.

2006 yukon engine light is on

the engine light needs to be scanned with a scan tool to pull a code, with that code you can start to diagnose, check your gas cap, make sure its tight, other than that you need to get it scanned before we can help you further

Car shaking/ vibrating...

I WOULD ALMOST BET THAT THE SHAKING OF THE CAR IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, THUS ONE PROBLEM. IT COULD BE BAD INJECTOR(S) OR JUST POOR MAINTENENCE. WITH 88K ON IT I THINK IT WOULD BE SOMETHING MINOR. HOPE THIS HELPS. LET ME KNOW. THANKS FOR USING FIX-YA. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR AN HONEST RATING AS WELL.

Check engine light stays on while driving

Go to Schuck's/Kragen/Chief's/Auto Zone and have the codes read in your vehicle. It is a free service.
