Re: s40 t5 qwd 2005 Check Engine Light

also, the high temp yesterday was 62 degrees, prior to that we have been sub freezing and under snow for about the last two weeks, coincidental?

s40 t5 qwd 2005 Check Engine Light

All,

My wife's s40 t5 awd just popped the check engine light on. We had a service done about 2500 miles ago, and the car seems to be running like a champ (no loss in mpg or power) other than getting the codes read any ideas? Oh yeah the gas cap is on securely...

Re: 1995 854 N/a Continued not staring hot

have yet to check it, had planned on replacing all of my o2 sensors and MAF in the next week or two. Is it normal for my service light to come on upon start, and then go away after about 2 minutes?

Re: 1995 854 N/a Continued not staring hot

yes, I changed the thermostat and flushed and refilled the antifreeze.... It's a shame that I didn't get it while I had the thermostat off, those bolts were a bugger! What about the code 1-2-1 - Is this MASS Air Flow or Manifold Absolute Pressure? I have seen it answered as both??? Plan on cleaning ...
