Service engine light.
 

On a 96 Dodge minivan, the "service engine" light occasionaly "pops on",
each time it's a "false alarm" and it's reset. Mostly, it goes out on its
own.
Anyone else have a similar problem and if so, do you know causes it?
Any repair solution?
Thanks

Service engine light.
 

WARNING: DO NOT TAKE IT TO A DODGE DEALER IN QUINCY IL.

Mine came on three years ago and after several thousand dollars, the light
is off and my vehicle still will not run right. But, the dealer said sorry.
Good-bye.

Well, without knowing the code we don't have anything to go on - and
no way to know if it is really a "false alarm" or an intermittent
problem. Therefore there is no way to intelligently figure out either
a cause or cure. As for the malfunctioning vehicle in Quincy it
sounds like someone is a slow learner.

As in my case when I had the check engine light looked at by a dealer
mechanic, it turned out that some of the emission lines were bad, dry
rot and the like and once replaced everything is fine now.
