Service Engine Lite goes ON and then OFF

Post by cschoer »

My service engine lite went on; then shut off after I put gasoline in it; it then went on and then went off some miles later. I did have it read and it was an 0422 (cat. converter); I'm really not sure that that is what it is. I have switched to premium gas and the light has stayed off. Is that a coincidence or would the gasoline octane make a difference. I've heard all kinds of stories on the different grades of gas and the effect that they have on the cat.converters. Any ideas out there???? :?:

What type of car is this for? Turbo or N/A?

The dealer told me that not replacing the gas cap properly will trigger the "Check Engine" lamp. Might want to check that out (with gas prices being what they are)!!
