Check Engine light is on recommend a shop

[falken]

Guys, could you recommend a repair shop other than Casa that could read the ECU? My friend's check engine light is always on and he doesn't want a mechanic that would resort to Trial and Error method. Thanks.

pag CEL wala kang choice but to go to a shop that has the appropriate diagnosis tool.

Correct me if I'm wrong, pero diba the
CEL comes on in 2 ways?

If it's steady , maybe your friend only needs to check the fuel
filler cap.Just tighten it and the light should turn off after
a few driving trips (nangyari na kase sa kin twice)

If it's blinking naman,that's the time to take it to a shop.

Pacheck mo alternator and /or yung sensor ng oil pressure...

have his car scanned by an OBDII scanner to get the codes and try to research what the codes meant. Depending on the car, it may have to hook up with and OBDI or OBDII which a RS232 connector can be found under the steering wheel.

Thanks for helping guys. :thanx:

Kung civic yan I can teach you how to get the code. paper clip lang kailangan and bibilangin mo lang blink nung CEL (aka MIL)

[speedyfix]

Speedyfix, napaayos na ng friend ko car niya. Pero at least alam ko nang meron ka na ring obd2 scanner at least mairerefer ko na sa iyo mga ibang kaibigan ko kung magkaproblema sasakyan nila.

[speedyfix]

Did you find out what was wrong with your friend's car? Nag-iilaw na rin ang CEL ko..

Check mo rin yung oil level baka mababa.

[speedyfix]

oil level will have nothing to do with the cel. the oil lamp light should be the one to turn on.

just finished with a range rover kanina. cel din pero all it needed was to get cleared

paano kung sobrang tagal naman mawala yung check engine light before ma start yung engine. the car is civic esi and usually pag turn on ng key iilaw yung CEL then mawawala after a few seconds then pwede na start yung kotse. but now ang tagal bago mamamatay yung CEL. mga 15 mins before we can start the engine. pero pag nastart na, ndi na iilaw yung CEL. comments pls.!!! tnx!!!

[speedyfix]

check mo muna if there is an error code or not. decode the blinks and let us know.

[ian_rex]

lihis ko nang konti. tutal CEL ang topic, napansin ko lang sa 96 Civic LXi namin, before ko i-start may ugong parang electrical ground habang naka-ilaw yung CEL then, clunk, patay na yung indicator then pwede na i-start. normal ba yun?

[speedyfix]

if it's from behind then baka you can hear the fuel pump. if it's from under you then baka main relay.

Check your fuel filters. Yung metal canister filter sa engine bay and the filter inside the fule tank. Hope this helps
