I have a strange story to tell. When I bought my car about a month ago the check engine light would come on after sitting overnight. It would go off when I would accelerate and turn on when I would brake. It would do this until I drove for at least 30 minutes continuously. After that it would stay off until I started it again the next morning. Well, a week ago I finally pressure washed the engine with a Hotsy to get off all the dirt, oil and other such things and since then the CEL has never come back on once! WHAT THE ****! I mean it was on right before I washed it and never since. Another problem I had when I bought the car was that the fog lights didn't work and the car wouldn't go into the FIRM ride mode when I pushed the switch. I just figured I had some electrical gremlins. Anyway, I take off the console cover and come to find out that the two switches weren't plugged into their respective harnesses. I guess when the previous owner had the amp installed in the car the installers didn't plug those back in. The point is that sometimes you just get lucky. I thought I was going to have to invest time and money to fix those problems. What a relief.
