Dreaded Check Engine Light

Came on this morning after not driver the truck for about a week. Came on about three weeks ago and it was the charcol canister. Wonder what it could be this time.

I hate that stupid light!

My CEL came on after our maiden voyage in the 99 to the mountains. I pulled the fuse to the ECM and then replaced it after 15 sec. The CEL went out and has not been on since. I think ours had something to do with the fact that we came down the hills without added throttle and EFI may have acted up. Any other thoughts/suggestions on the cause????

Turned out to be a bad air fuel sensor. Dealer took care of the part, I just paid for installation. Good deal.

That is a pretty common cause of the CEL, glad they hooked you up at the stealer.

Believe it or not, I love my dealer. They hook me up all the time. I guess I am one of the lucky ones.
