As you may now from a previous post, I’ve been driving around with my car’s “Check Engine” light on. The mechanic had told me it needs some kind of evaporative thing for the emissions control and that’ll be $500 to fix it, “Thank you very much.” I said, “Well, that’s a lot of money just for fix a little light on the dashboard. My car doesn’t come up for inspection until April. Please reset the computer and I’ll drive it for a while.” He warned me the light might come back on again in that night or a month from now.
Well, it came back on the next day. Therefore, I’ve been driving around with my “Check Engine” light on. Although it bugs me, at $500, I can take a little bugging.
Guess what? I’m driving home tonight, when suddenly that pesky light goes out. I don’t know if the bulb burned out, the computer finally gave up on me, or the emission thingy suddenly started working OK again. At any rate, I’ll take it as I can get it and see what happens.
