They get harder and harder to work on all the time. Need the computer hook-up just to know what's wrong.
The "check engine" light went on in my car in November, and when I took it in they told me it was a transmission issue that would cost between 1200 and 2900 dollars to fix.
I stalled until last month, when it wouldn't pass smog because of the engine light, then took it to my neighbor's shop in search of a cheap fix.
A secondary brake pedal sensor was unplugged, which screwed up the transmission(overdrive).
Plugged it in, drove it for a while, light went off.
SHEESH!
