Re: Check engine light

Odd that the light comes on when you hit operating temperature, and, presumably, goes off after it cools down again. Traditionally, when the "Check Engine" light comes on, it stays on until the problem is rectified, or, if it was a transient problem, stays on until several re-starts have occurred without replication of what threw the first code..

Also, I'd be suspicious of the factory gauge. It's far from accurate, and factory designed to lie to you. It may be that you're running into a slight over heating issue..
