The light on the dash that looks like a little engine just came on after filling up with gas. I was told the I have a bad gas cap. Is this correct?

The engine light came on in 2003 Honda Civic Hybrid. I took it to the dealer, who did some testing, told me it was a dual set oxygen sensors that needed to be replaced. $700. My car is running fine. Is this worth doing?

Remember, these are different brands and 1 each.....look for "exact fit"

The stealership is not the only game in town!

In the future....keep this in mind too

The code in the above link also saves with smaller amounts too, just not as much

Sometimes we do what we gotta do.....it seems to be done now,

.....and you are happy?.....that's what matters!

Maybe do a little research next time for a better deal?

Ever thought about a jeep wrangler?

My jeeps make me really happy!

Both codes deal with transmission issues. You need to have it tested by a trans tech,

check engine light is flashing rapidly and car bogs down, but rpm's race to 5000 going 60 mph. Its almost like its in low gear. This car is on its 3rd battery, and runs well other than this. Thank you for your time and thoughts on this matter.

If the check engine light is on, take it into a auto parts store. These places will generally tell you what the code the computer is throwing and what is wrong.

Good luck.

My engine light came on and is flashing an IMA code. I understand that this is the motor that runs the battery pack operations of my car. What is the cost to replace this motor?

first, what is the code number??? a code never identifies a bad part, just a failed system.

lets do the diag before jumping to any conclusion.

who told you this part was bad.
