I have a 94 ls that i got at car max in october. ive put 1500 miles on it since then and i was planning on driving it up to dallas from galveston for thanksgiving when the maint req. light came on. It comes on for about 5 seconds when is start the car and flashes then it turns off. It doesnt stay on. I had sched. an oil change for the car this weekend ne ways, im hopping thats what the light means. If ne one could give me some help here id be very thankful. the drive from galveston to dallas is 280 miles each way, i dont really wanna push my teg if this light warrents a problem other than an oil change, also since i got the car i have no owners manual so i cant look this up. plz help lol

 

The light comes on after a certain amount of miles. It does not indicate that anything is wrong. To turn it off there is a little blue switch under the steering wheel, above the pedals. Stick your head down there and look up and you should see it. Put the key to the start position and hold the switch till the light turns off.

 

youve made my day thank you very much

doesn't it do that when you have gone x# of miles since last service and that is your "reminder" to take it in? I dunno, my car never has problems...

just make sure when you take it in they give it a good looking over. may not have any problems, but it's always a good idea before a road trip!

 

yeah i love the car to death the stock block has to last me atleast 3 more years

Just take care of it, and there shouldn't be a problem

my 92 is still running strong. hell, my 67 'stang is running on the original block that was rebuilt at 100k and it's now at 240+ !!

treat it right and it'll treat you right.

 

read this for maint schedule!

 

good call! that schedule is golden.

and by the way, sabotage7...you car is really clean! but it's so blacked out it makes the wheels stick out like a sore thumb. have you thought about painting them? black-chrome would look wicked...

 

thanx....i know what you mean about the wheels though i havent really thought about it, im lazy and i have a lot of stuff i gotta do to my house first, and i need to get a new cat first too!

 

dude, I feel ya. and when I read that, I thought you meant cat like *mrowr*. d'oh.

 

lol.....btw, im not a dude!


SilentHill- you should be fine if all your maint is up to date! have fun!
