These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Last time I drove my Targa out was 3 weeks ago and had start to warm up the car in weekly bases. Last Sunday, I took the air filter out to check and then put it back in but didn't start the car. Earlier today, I start the car to warm up and the check engine light is on. Last time I had the check engine light on was before the battery went dead. I checked all the screws and connector on the intake box and everything seems fine. What could possibly be wrong? Thanks!!!

POST 2Original post

I'd double check the connector and make sure it's all the way home....

POST 3Original post

unplug the battery and start over.... sounds like a coincidence. You need a scanner if you want to reset the cel....

Thank you redridge! I just disconnected and reconnected the battery and the light went off. I will take the car out tomorrow for a spin see how it goes. Thanks for the tip!

POST 5Original post

Code readers are cheap $100. You can read and erase your codes and take a lot of anxiety out of that little light going on. You also get a reason the light went on. I keep mine in the trunk,ready wherever I am. I also carry a list of the codes from RennTech.org.(you have to make a donation to get the list).

Where is a good place to purchase the code reader / scanner? I also received a faulty indicator code form oil pressure gauge and going to replace the pressure sender unit.

POST 7Original post

Harbor Freight has them. You need an OBDII code reader. Try searching Google.

POST 8Original post

Amazon.com has them for 35 bucks for reset tool and reader. cheap enough to leave in the car.

This is the right tool I need? Autel MaxiScan MS300 CAN OBD-II Scan Tool http://www.amazon.com/Autel-MaxiScan...7756484&sr=1-1 Thanks!

POST 10Original post

That should be just fine. That is very similar to mine. Its not a Durametric but its good for basic stuff and clearing the CEL.

If you have a laptop, something like this will be a LOT more versatile and cheaper too! You can read the MAF, coolant temp, fuel trim, etc. in addition to reading and clearing codes.
