Last Sunday, on my way to church, my car’s “check engine” light flashed on.
Since I’m doing a fair bit of traveling these days with my new job in another town, I knew I wanted to get things checked out quickly.
So I asked my brother Timothy, who works at a car lot, to recommend a place to go.
He said he could read the error if I’d just take my car up to the lot.
I complied, of course.
We wrote down the error code, returned home to look up what it meant, and quickly did some troubleshooting by the side of the car.
Turns out my gas cap was not fully screwed on and that was causing a pressure reading to “flag” the check engine light.
We screwed the cap on tightly and I drove away.
15 minutes, no money, no problems.
Having family in the “car business” works for me!
Easy fix!
