How many of you do not have your check engine lights on?
Just curious how many fc drivers do not have their check engine light on?
Mine had always been on since I bought the car two years ago, but I finally fixed the last code.
From what I've seen and heard most people have check engine lights on; so I was very proud of myself because I fixed all eight codes my car was throwing before the engine swap.




(Okay, I really just wanted to brag about finally fixing my codes; you guys caught me.)

Dont have a check engine light, but I'm not throwing any codes. And if I did throw codes, I probably wouldn't let it stay on for 2yrs.

My S4 doesn't have a CEL! It doesn't have a battery or alternator in her either.

I did it to hear responses like this.
In my redneck family having a vehicle without a check engine light on is rare.

You know when you do someything you shouldn't and you just need that validation from someone else that its an acceptable thing to do.

It's not a check engine light. It's a CHANGE engine light.

Lol...
Both of my fc's had low compression when I bought them and had been ran that way for a long time.
I was really never worried about when something was going to go out on them.
