Well considering a CEL can be one of 50 things, why wouldn't you have checked what code it's giving you when it was on. It takes 5 minutes and then you wouldn't have to guess what it is... It's impossible or someone to magically guess code it was throwing.

I wasn't asking for a code, just the possible causes of this problem. Anyways, I don't know how to check because I have never had to do it before.

This forum has a very helpful CEL Sticky. Clink the link. It's pretty easy. Post your codes if you want more feedback.
