I'm new here! just got a 2005 with 20k on it. after 2 days the ckeck eng light came on! any ideas??

 

Welcome. Could be a number of things, if you have an Auto Zone or Pep Boys around your area they will check for free. By the way where are you from?

 

Thanks, I'm in Beaufort N.C. I hope its nothing serious

 

first thing to check is your gas cap. If it is not properly sealed, the check engine light will pop on.

Congrats on your new ride.

 

I agree - gas cap, probably when your sales person was fueling her up for you to take home. Don't worry - it will be ok!!!

PS Don't let cats near the roof of your new car - they will trash it! Trust me!

 

Congratulations on your new XFire From Wake Forest, NC!

Probably a loose gas cap.....

 

Thanks everyone!! went out for a 2 hour cruse today it was great!!

 

Did the light go out?

 

I guess so, he said thanks.
Let's hope he comes back some time.

 

Yeah, The light went out. Thanks. I only got one more problem, The rear window is coming loose from the top. is there a special glue to hold it? where do I get it? or should I get a pro to fix it?

Wow! I posted my back window problem yesterday and just noticed the sticky above the forum that addresses this problem, seems I'm not the only one. This is a great forum!


Thanks, Ted

 

Congrats and welcome to the forum.

 

Many, maybe MOST of the items that come up are nothing new. The next time you have any problem with the car, do a search of the forums... almost everything has been discussed.

There are threads on battery problems, hard starting, no start, top movement problems, trunk and door lock troubles, engine dying when it's hot, oil leaking from valve covers, oil leaking from the transmission, engine "overheating" (I put that in quotes because a lot of questions about engine temperature turn out to be normal operation), the list goes on and on.

There is almost nothing new (to the members here about these cars) under the sun.

 

So much info there's even a thread on how NOT to do an oil change!
