We have two cars, older cars, around like 2000's ... a little Chevrolet Cavalier and a Chevrolet van, an Astro Van, interior is like new. Around 70M on the little Chevy close to a 100 on the van.
The little Chevy, Check Engine Soon light goes on for a while. Originally, we would tighten the gas cap and it would go off. Two day ago, we pulled in to the Auto Zone to have them put their little thingy on the engine to find out what might be wrong. As soon as we pulled in to their lot, the light went off, been off since.
The van, the Battery light, would briefly come on, then go off, and stay off. Yesterday, the Check Engine Soon light came on .... and the Battery Light came on briefly. Got gas yesterday, both lights went off.
So, what to do? I trust NO mechanic. Had one nearby, had a rattle when stopped at a light, diagnosis, need a new catalytic converter, BIG bucks ... checked it out, need a new Safety Plate or some such thing near the catalytic converter. So, have learned to live with the rattle. I now have two cars I have lost faith in.
In my younger days things like that did not bother me, now them do. I am t a point where I almot hate to go anywhere in the car.
In a turmoil in Ohio, what to do?
