Check Engine Light is On

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

This is not a good morning for me. I’m sick with this flu that’s been going around and now my check engine light is on. I was heading to work, which is about 45 minutes away from home this morning. The light was on, the car smelled funny, and I swear it feels different.

I did put more oil yesterday, so that could have contributed to the smell. The car felt a bit off, like a little bit of rattling. *sighs*

I called work and they understand. No need for me to take the chance and possibly get stranded somewhere. I work in a rural area, so I’m a bit more leery of the drive. Less people to see me if I break down.

I’m taking the car to the mechanics as soon as they open today. Let’s hope it’s nothing major.

If this post was helpful, please buy me a cup of coffee. :D

  1. Best of luck…better to find out now instead of the side of the highway!


  2. You’re right. It seems like it might not be too bad. I’ll try to post the results tomorrow.
