Check Engine Light
 

I have a
1982 Collector Edition Corvette. It runs great however when I turn the ignition off the check engine light comes on. Any ideas how to correct this?

Patient: Hey Doc, it hurts when I touch my arm right here.

Doc: Don't touch your arm right there.

i would tell you how to fix the light but i dont have one in my 77 so i dont know what the problem could be. i fixed my check engine light on my cavalier by removing it...i thought , but the light is still on and now my right turnsignal light dosnt work...so i just let it go

The check engine light comes on when you turn the car *off*? If the check engine light comes on while the car is running, I might worry a bit, but when it is off? No idea there. The check engine light is usually wired into a bunch of stuff, and tracking it down (without one of those nifty computers with "codes" to read) can be tough. The most common cause of check engine in modern cars... drumroll... the gas cap not screwed on tight.

or the o2 sensor. which if it is the problem save your cash and just torch the tip of it and screw it back in. i guarentee it works perfect. i used to do it on mustangs all the time

Most of your auto parts stores will read out any codes that are set for free. :)
