- Loose Gas Cap
- Failing Oxygen Sensor
- Failing Catalytic Converter
- Failing Mass Air Flow Sensor
- Damaged Spark Plugs or Wires
- Weak Battery
- EGR Valve Problem

If the check engine light is steady, it indicates a problem that should not be overlooked. Conversely, if the light is flashing, it signals an engine misfire.
