help, check engine light on
alright, i'm pretty mechanical and good at fixing anything i can see or find
anyways today the check engine light came on...there was no difference in engine tone, no difference in driving, i checked under the hood for loose wires/hoses...nothing
how do i get the code to look up what is tripping the light, is there a light sequence to look for when i start it..or do i have to take it to a shop.
and can just any repair shop diagnose it, or does it have to goto a toyota dealer? (god i hope not)
but i've got a 4 hour tow coming up this friday, so i'd really prefer not to let it go and just hope for the best...for my own piece of mind i really wana find out what it is....even if it is something stupid.
2 weeks ago i put an aftermarket exhaust on...cat back, well not exactly cat back, but close...i didn't touch the pipe w/the 2nd O2 sensor...is there any way the new muffler fouled the O2 sensor..or something weird like that?
please help!
