Tom the Son is taking his last pickup-load of Tom Stuff over to his new abode. When he gets back, he’ll put his office chair into his new-to-him car, and then he’ll leave forever, or until he needs a place to hang out tomorrow while his car is getting the Check Engine light checked.
Betcha a nickle it's an engine sensor. Make your decision based on "if we had the car for a year and this happened, then ..."; as long as your repair costs are lower than a new car payment, you're coming out ahead.
Good for Tom the Son, and his Transition to Independence!
The Check Engine light came on in the Tracker about three years ago and My Favorite Son said that any vehicle that has 100,000+ miles on it is bound to have the Check Engine light come on permanently. It doesn’t affect the performance, so not to worry.
Some days, it bothers me, but most days, not.
