I'll be the first to admit I know jackshit about cars. I know how to drive. I know how to change the oil and keep the fluids topped off, etc etc etc.

But to actually know what's wrong with a car? Nope, not a chance.

Sooo, I'm driving home from the grocery store and I notice the "Check Engine" light starts to flicker and then go solid. There's no weird noises. No whines or wurrs or whathaveyou. I just had the oil changed.

Seriously? What good is the "check engine" light if you really don't have the money to take it into a shoppe to have it looked at?

Sometimes, and I know this from experience, it could be something easy, like your gas cap isn't on quite right or something stupid like that. At least check that first -- that was causing me a check engine light for a while, actually, on my old car.
