Also, the CEL will reset itself after XX amount of sucussful starts w/o the issue. I know my car does not like driving down from Flagstaff, the elevation sets off my CEL, goes away a couple days later.

BUT do head to your nearest Autozone, Checker, or mechanic and have them read out that CEL code, once you have that code we can assist ya further.

So I cut my last class today to stop at Autozone on the way home, and they couldnt pull the code because it was store policy that they can only do it when there are three employees in the building

Talk about frustrating.

There isn't a way to pull the codes manually is there? On my Supra with a paperclip and an extra set of hands you can get the CEL to blink out the error code for you

dude, nobody will know what your problem is just because u tell us you have a CEL. go get the code read for free at autozone or some other place.

however, it is most likely the gas cap, have you filled up recently? did you tighten it 3 clicks?

Reset the ECU (disconnect the battery) and see if it comes back.

I went back to Autozone today and they were able to read the code, it was a bad secondary O2 Sensor

Thanks for the help guys
