Mileage: No information provided.
Why won't me engine light turn off? Also why when I make small turns the engine sometimes cuts off?
Answer
What were the EXACT trouble codes retrieved? An error has been detected in the engine management system and the CEL is coming on to inform you of it. If the problem is not resolved, the light would not turn off.
We were never told exactly what the problem was. However I just remembered that either the fuel sensor or the air sensor to be replaced. We asked the mechanics to diagnose the problem however they kept on saying that whatever repairs they will do will only "might" fix the problem and that we won't know the exact answer until we go through everything.
When the CEL comes on, an error has been detected by the engine computer and trouble codes would be stored in the computer. You need a scan tool or code reader to extract the trouble code. Most parts stores provides free scanning services. gotto them and get the EXACT trouble code for me. Without it/them, it is not possible to diagnose the problem.
