The Service Engine Soon light came on last night while I was driving around the city at like 35mph going on 5th gear at barely 1k rpm. Ive heard that it can turn on just by simply not screwing the gas cap tightly. Its been about 2 weeks since I filled it up, so that rules that possibility out. What could this be, I'm in the process to figure out if the GT is still under manufacturer's warranty due to the low millage. I hope its nothing serious, the car seems to ride fine. I need help, thanks guys.

 

Why are you driving around in 5th gear at 35 mph? No your car is not under warranty.

 

go to autozone and get the code read

 

And they do it for free. Afterward post up the codes that they give you.

 

how do you know his car isnt under warranty? ford offered a 10yr/100k miles ESP on some of their vehicles...my truck is an 02 with 90k miles and is still under warranty

this.... autozone will be able to read the code for free and then tell you what the code means, or a general description...post up the code here and we will help you out....probably something small and dumb

 

Because I'm in the same boat as he is. My car was sold brand new in 05, and it just hit 36000 two weeks ago. The warranty ran up in 08.

 

Reading>You.

 

Get the code(s) read and look them up here...

 

YUP! the guy from auto zone said it read "emissions leak". He told me to get a new fuel cap and get the computer reset.

 

So what was the code?
