Check engine light
Two days ago my check engine light came on. I took it to the Chevy dealer and they told me it was due to my aftermarket intake...which has been on the car two years without any problems. Any ideas ...the car is running great! :confused: :confused: :confused:

Re: Check engine light (ronf)
You can check your own codes. A service manual and a little forum help will be needed to figure out what's wrong.
When you get your car back (unfixed :rolleyes:) reply back and we'll try to help. You might have to repost to get a response on what to do.
Do you know how to check the DIC codes??

They would not tell me any codes...just that it is due to the Vortex Rammer intake that is on the car....FOR TWO YEARS. I know nothing about the codes, where to check em and what they mean

Dealers suck!!!, I hope you didn't pay for the disservice that was provided, BTW in the owners manual there is a note that tells the difference between a check engine light thats on steady or one that flashes, I can't remember right now but basically if it's flashing the problem is more serious and if it's on steady it could be something as simple as a loose gas cap but nothing that needs immediate attention. good luck :cheers:

Re: Check engine light (ronf)
mines been doing it also and they say it's oil from the filter on the MAF. Got to believe it because I cleaned it and it's awesome again. Only problem is I don't know how not to over oil it.
