I have a dodge stratus and the engine light is on and it drives and its as though someone stopped it with a grabbing sensation but its not the brakes they are not involved. i thought the pause and cut off was caused by the transmission but it not that either
If the light was flashing when it came on, then it means your engine is misfiring.
A solid light can mean anything from a loose/faulty gas cap to a transmission issue.
This
light comes on when the computer detects a
fault of some sort in its diagnostic tests. If it keeps detecting this
issue, the light will remain on. If the light turns off, then it has
detected that the issue may no longer be present.
In
order to find out what the exact reason was for your light, You need to
have your car computer scanned to retrieve the code that
the computer would have stored when the light triggered. Most garages
will do this free of charge. The code will tell you what may have
caused the light to initially turn on.
sounds like a faulty sensor tripping and reconnecting.. the next time the light comes on, take it to an advance auto store or an auto zone, they can read your codes for free... this will tell you what is being tripped, that way you know exactly what you need to get checked and/or fixed instead of a mechanic poking around trying to find everything thats NOT wrong. but if you are not expeiriencing any difficulty with the car, you should be fine. the check engine light actually means alot less than most people think. its usually a transmission or emissions sensor, or even as simple as leaving your gas cap off after filling and then driving for awhile.
check gas cap . use scanner when check engine light comes on you got a problem some where . scanner will give you a code . you got a bad sensor . fix it . the scanner will have to erase code.if you dont repair sensor .the check engine light will stay on.
1.) Don't do anything. Once the computer sees the engine run normally for a few cycles, it will automatically clear the code.
2.) Connect a scan tool to the OBDI port to clear the codes manually. Local auto parts stores will often perform scan tool diagnostics free of charge.
3.) If you want to remove the code quickly without any special tools, just disconnect the battery and leave it disconnected for a while. (How long varies for different cars, as some engine PCM's have capacitors that hold a charge for a short while after losing battery power.)
