Message:
Out of the blue my check engine light just came on. I looked under the hood for anything obvious but couldn't find anything out of place. Can anyone think of something that would bring this light in?

About a year ago I had it come in but then the truck wouldn't start. Come to find out it was a bad cell in the battery. However no trouble with starting it now.

It could be the O2 sensor. I don't know if there are two of them on Dak's or just one. I'd definately check it out though.

adam- Funny that you say that about the gas. I was at the gas station filling up and when I got back in thats when the light came on. I was pretty much on E and filled it up with about 12gal or so. And it was a different gas station that I went to. The light came on and just stayed on when I started her up. Is it possible that the gas would have caused it that quickly?

Probably the gas cap, go to AutoZone and let them scan the codes that will help. then go to

and look up the codes they get.

I figure I'd head to autozone to get FI cleaner during lunch. On the way there the light is still on, ok. I go buy the stuff get in the truck to leave and it somehow has fixed itself! So I made a few more stops and it hasn't come back. I guess it was FM. Thanks for all the help.
