I'm about to lose my shit /o/
>about a month ago riding in my 1991 22re
>randomly my check engine light comes on
>oh fuck that's never good on a vehicle this old
>5 minutes later the light goes off
I think nothing of it because nothing is fucked with my engine that I know of
>today riding to work
>check engine light comes on
>stays on for about 2 minutes
>goes off
What the fuck is up? I can't even get it to stay on long enough to read the output on it.

>read the output on it.
What scanner are you using?
>>17344980
The old paper clip method.
>>17344978
Maybe buy a vehicle that isn't a piece of shit?
Possibly misfires
>>17344985
Two minutes shoul be long enough.
>>17344978
Is the engine running when you tool that pic? Fuel looks low, could be related.

this
I once ran out of fuel in my moms pegout 206 and managed to drive it to a gas station on fumes and refuel
when I took off check engine light went on but went off after 2-3 mins
>>17345072
But don't overfill, that will set it off too.
>>17345060
Yea both times it came on while I was driving
>>17345051
It does it while I'm driving only.
>>17345082
If the paper clip trick doesn't work while you're driving, then it is not very helpful. Why not use a cheap scanner?
>>17344978
Get it scanned, OP. Or buy a scantool and do it yourself. Could be anything from some stupid and gay part of the emissions control system failing to your engine needs help.
If it starts flashing, that's bad. Stop driving as soon as you can and get that looked at right away.

lol another 22re meme. Have fun with that 100year old "toyota"

Cant use a ODB scanner on a 22re
>>17344985
What the fuck is that?
Pre-OBDII is fun.
Just unplug the battery for a few minutes and let it go. If you're engine is running fine then don't worry. Usually it's a sensor crapping out. Check the code and fix it.
>>17345137
Pre-OBD2 scanners are a thing.
>>17345615
The engine is running fine and it doesn't store the code. It says there is no code. The CEL has never been on for more than 3 or so minutes and it's always starts and stops while driving.
>>17345628
and you did the unplug battery thing?
>>17345134
Show me any other engine that old that is still as widespread as the 22re
>>17344978
Is the seal on your gas cap good? The more modern OBD2 cars take awhle for the check engine light to come on if the cap is loose or leaking and takes a while to turn off after the cap is replaced properly.
>>17347455
Is thjs real or a meme? I see people saying a fucking gas cap can throw a code, how?
>>17347930
Fuel tank pressure, which will throw off O2 sensors.
