came on in my 2005 GMC pickup. Great, I thought, another $200 gone. I wish. It was two sensors called 'knock' sensors that notes when the engine starts to do something that used to make the valves rattle and it retards the timing. I could have put a piece of black tape over the light because my mechanic said that it wouldn't hurt to drive it. Problem is, though, if something else goes wrong the light won't warn me.
With a long breath (a sigh to you city folks) I axed him how much would it cost. They are located, of all places,
under the intake manifold so everything has to come off. The book gives 3 hours and that's what I was charged for but it really only took 2 hours. Total= $600.54 for everything. That took care of my gun show this weekend but, Lord knows, I have enough guns.
Best part of all? My check engine light is off.
You know you're living right when the check engine light not burning is one of the highlights of the day.
