The Check Engine Light Signals that There Is a Problem With Your Vehicle

Vehicle Warning LightsHave you ever been driving and had your check engine light come on?  If you have, you were probably wondering what could possibly be the problem.  When the check engine light comes on, one or more things could be the culprit.  When your check engine light comes on, it is best to bring your vehicle in to Boulder’s Fisher Auto Service Center.  We will run your automobile through diagnostic testing to pinpoint the exact reason for your check engine light coming on.  The check engine light will come on for anything from a loose gas cap to a faulty fuel filter. After the issue is diagnosed, one of the certified mechanics at Fisher Auto will correct the problem and have your vehicle back on the road in no time.

What Causes the Check Engine Light to Come On?

Check engine lights come on for various reasons.  Some of the most common things that can cause that little annoying light to come on include:
•    A blown gasket head
•    A wet engine
•    Sticky exhaust-gas recirculation valves
•    Faulty oxygen sensors
•    Pinched or deteriorated fuel injector O-rings
•    Worn-out spark plugs or spark plug wires
Several of the items above are minor and inexpensive to repair, though others may be more pricey.  Regardless of how major or minor the problem, it is important to have it checked out right away.  Although your car may seem like it is driving just fine, you could be wasting fuel, damaging your engine, or even putting out high levels of pollution into the environment.  Keep in mind that if your check engine light is on, your vehicle may not pass emissions testing.
