  • CEL action

    Hey guyz,

    So coming home from work today my CEL light came on. I know there's been alot of discussion about this on Vortex etc. but I've never paid attention to them since it it didn't apply to me at the time Anyone know what might have caused it? Today it was raining (well, more drizzling) and really humid. I'm sure it's not hydrolock though since my car was parked underground all day. Any ideas???

      Best thing is just to get it scanned.

      Mine comes on when its raining, gives me some oxygen sensor warning.

        did you fill up w/ gas recently? CEL goes on if the gas cap isn't tight.

          Rain, O2 sensors, and gas caps, oh my! I'll look into that. I think I'll just book another appointment too and have the dealership scan it. I also have another problem with my AC smelling like stanky feet So they might as well look intothat too. Thanks for the tips guyz

            stanky AC is most likely caused by bacteria in the system. the easy way to fix this is to turn the heat on FULL blast and leave it for like 20 minutes. it will burn those little mofo's outta there

                Really? You mean it can actually get hot enough to kill 'em? I'd like to try this, but blasting the heat here in LA for 20min is not the most appealing idea

                  if you're cruising with the A/C on, turn it off and crank the fans on full for a minute before you turn the car off. It dries everything out and keeps the bacteria away.
