Today, while driving home from work(5 mile drive) I noticed the engine light was on. Haven't had any problems with the engine, so I checked the manual to see what that meant. It was the Emissions Control Gauge. Anybody had any problems with theirs coming on? Just got the car out of the shop not 2 weeks ago for drive shaft problems! :scratch:

I had my 'check engine light' come on three times...and the engine was running fine each time the light came on.

The 1st time I took the car in and the dealer checked everything and reset the computer.
The 2nd time the light came on it shut itself off a few days later.
The 3rd time the light came on was a few days after getting the car serviced and having the TSB for the front end done (I sat at the dealer most of the day waiting for the car since I was told it would only take a couple hours).
Anyway, the following weekend I was back at the dealer for the 'check engine light'. This time they found a valve sticking open in the emissions system. They had to order the part which took about a month, then I went back after work one day and they replaced the part in about 30 minutes.
