I know we can't do to much about this other then take it to the dealer... .

but I got in my car yesterday... it was raining... I pulled outta the parking lot at school... bam! Check engine light turned on!! Instantly I felt my heart sink...

I turned it off... and it was still on... I drove it on the freeway... on normal roads back to my house... it felt PERFECT! the cold air outside really made it feel even better... no strange noise and no strange feeling...

Then about 12 miles from the parking lot... it turned off...

Today I started the car back up... and it was there....

I haven't added anything ... but my car when I turn it on shows the little mechanic thingy on the mileage display... and it says 500... meaning I need to take it to the shop in 500... I'm almost at 8000 miles... but I dont understand... I just got my old changed at 7200 miles...

Could the check engine like be related to this? ... any ideas? ... Like I said its running excellent!
