2004 suzuki verona check engine light on. Mechanic said nothing was wrong. car stopped accelorating on highway and died. now was told cataletic converter was clogged and blew engine. can this happen. was told there was a fuel ecm recall on this vehicle. would this cause some of the problem..

mass air flow sensor or a cracked air intake snorkel can also cause this problem too I recommend to check fuel pressure when this happen it should be close to 45psi also when the engine is stopped the fuel could be leaking down to the engine

Hey Anon... there is no way for ANYONE on fixya to be able to tell what happened to your engine.. Find a mechanic you can trust and let him work on it... OR...

This sounds similar to what was wrong with my Verona when I bought it private party. Is the ABS light on? Take your car into the shop to see if it's the wheel hub assembly (wheel bearing). Sadly, if it is the wheel bearing, a new one is pricey $$$. Good luck! :)
Additional Info: I've only had my 2004 Verona EX for a few months and it has been nothing but problems--the first being a bad wheel bearing. Check Engine light seems to be on every other week because the fuel system is too lean somewhere. It's also an oil hog. Unless you have an extended drivetrain warranty, forget getting any help from Suzuki Corporate.

Check the gas cable, it may be too tight. You can do that easily. I had the same problem with that "famous" engine light. Use 91 octane gasoline and take a ride on a highway 100 to 110 kmh speed (1 hour minimum). I have a 2004 Verona and it is a great car.

The hold button on my 2004 Suzuki Verona comes on out of no where flashing and it stops my car from excelerating. I haveto pull over and shut the car off then on in order to contiue driving. After 2k dollars in reapirs over the last 3 months...I just want to know if this feature can be disconnected???? I don't need it. Thanks

the oil light is coming on due to sensed low engine oil pressure, this is not a level issue unless u are about 3 quarts low, oil pressure indicators don't leave any computer codes, so who ever told u that is wrong, u need to test the oil pressure with a mechanical gage when the oil light is on, until U need to confirm that u don't have a real pressure issue here or you can burn out the engine bearings, if the pressure checks ok then rplace the oil pressure light sending unit in the engine.

You can disconnect the negative cable of the battery for a couple of minutes (but you will lose radio settings and possibly others that the car will relearn), or you can go to an auto parts store such as Advance Auto or Pep Boys and they have a free scanner service to diagnose problems that should be able to reset the light. Mine does.

There is not a fuse for the check engine light.

you must have a check or service engine light on if any sensor is malfunctioning if no engine light is present then i suggest nothing is wrong!?

I found that my check engine light comes on when I fail to turn the gas cap two clicks. It has something to do with the air . After I paid $50 for one of those diagnostics, I always make sure when it comes on to check if my husband failed to click the gas cap, correct the problem and the check engine light goes out before I have to gas up the next time and will stay off as long as I am the sole driver.
