Service Engine Soon

There is more than one "service engine" indicator. One means something's wrong (you'll need an OBD scanner to get the code), another means you're at the configured interval for oils

There is more than one "service engine" indicator. One means something's wrong (you'll need an OBD scanner to get the code), another means you're at the configured interval for oils change/&c (no OBD code thrown, so scanner won't tell you anything).

The bump in idle speed may be due to dirty MAFs. Cleaning them is an easy DIY.

Yeah I was just poking around under the hood to see if anything looked out of place. The only two mods I have are a Infidia Gimini CBE and the K&N typhoon intake filter tubes. The filters still look real clean and I am about to turn over to 27K, so I am averaging between 6&7 thousands miles a year. I am off this Monday I may drop into the dealer and see if they can give me any assistance but this seems a little early for even an emissions break down.

Default Intermittent

Well I was coming home from the gym tonight after stopping off to pick up some fast food and the service engine soon light didn’t come back on. So anything worth speculating now that it may seem intermittent.
