Ahhh Check Engine Light!!help!
hey, i was at work today, and i was on my lunch break going over to mc donalds.. and all of a sudden my check engine light came on!! AHHH, this is my first car and im too broke to get it fixed if anything is wrong with it, i have a 99 SE-L with only 334XX miles on it... cant think of anything that is wrong with it.. any suggestions??
engine seems to be running fine.. dont feel any different... just randomly the check engine light is on.. and my gas mileage seems to be ok.. and i dont push my car at all.. i mean i shift at like.. 2500 rpm.... help!!!

i think it might be your driving habits. maybe its in my head, but hear me out
ive had my maxima for about 7 months now. i pushed that thing the first couple of months. my check engine light came on. i diagnosed it and it was the knock sensor (surprise) and the coolant temperature sensor. i didnt have any money to replace them so i just left them. for the past 2 months or so ive changed my driving habits, i drive normal now i dont push it at all... and i hardly ever go on the highway. my check engine light went away. weird... but yeah, i dunno man that would be it who knows... check it and see what happens
