Speed Bump by Dave Coverly for July 29, 2020

My car has that light on the dash when I open the hood i the motor is still there

He’s already been ignoring that for 50 miles – I’m sure it’s nothing.

I hate it when that happens. You can only hope its nothing really bad going on.

Those idiot lights are strange and troublesome. Does it matter? What does it mean? (I have had to look a couple of them up in the owner’s manual, and it was not very helpful.) How dire is it? Could it have picked a worse time to go on?

Did you get the extended ( 2 week // 2 miles) warranty?

Ah, that could mean anything.

If it’s not blinking he’s good to keep flying.

His engine is on the blink.

Probably low on blinker fluid.

Needs to scan his OBD-II (On Bug Diagnostics)…

Just stop buying Czech engines!

Shouldn’t that be a “check your butt” light?

It will go off again five minutes after the mechanic drives it into the bay. It will come on again on the Sunday morning of a stat holiday weekend when you are an 8 hour drive from home and staying in a small town out in the middle of nowhere.

Ask me how I know.

No worries; it has been on for 5 months.

Hopefully it’s just a loose gas cap.

Lol too funny!

Too much night life.

Low on luciferin.

The Check Engine light comes on when there is a failure that can cause emissions to 1.5 times the federal law allowed. Your car may “run fine,” but it is not operating correctly.
