Hey guys,
I filled up with new gas engine light is still on. Taking the car in on monday hopefully it's nothing serious. I haven't lost any power, and the car drives the same. NO issues so far just that dam light.

Please let us know the dealer's resolution is.

Still, they should be able to pull codes from the ECU to check the cause, so you might as well bring it in for some peace of mind.

Engine Light Status
Here's what the dealership said
The purge valve was stuck open and not operating causing the light to come on. We replaced the valve and functioning great now.
What's a purge Valve?

less then 100 miles later (which is my post here) my check engine light comes up.
ended up being that during the 100 miles of the mis-firing of the engine, i ****ed my catalytic converter. ONLY 1 of them is ****ed but they are replacing both for free
does this make any sense? almost sounds like a scam, how can a car with 40k blow a cat out that fast?
---------------------------
filler to the story:
the transmission was replaced, while replacing the tranny they aparently put a coil back on wrong. they explain it to me by saying that the gap where the spark was supposed to light was too big. the engine was misfiring which was why my car was shaking as well as not running well... I brought it back to the dealership and they fixed this "gap problem".
