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?

Look up the reset procedure for your car (can either be "short these pins" or "press gas 20 times with ignition on" - stuff like that) and see if it comes back on.

If it is just the 100K "take me to a dealer", you probably won't be bothered by it again.
