    Go to a shop and have them scan it, there should be history codes stored.

    My service engine soon light goes on and off all the time, dunno if that's what your talking about though. Someone said something about the gas cap?

    The shop is just making you throw parts at the car to try and fix it. $Each time the light comes on a code is stored, make the shop tell you what the code is, write it down and then I can look it up for you.

    I know what the code probably is..

    And I know how it's typically fixed.

    Now..go to Autozone or somewhere and get it scanned, then confirm it's the code I think it is.. and we'll help you figure out why it's continually visiting you.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    I know I put a drop in K&N filter in my car. and The light would come on and stay on for a couple days then go off and repeat. so I got rid of it and it stopped happening.
