Check engine light

Asked by drtown Jun 18, 2012 at 09:40 AM about the Mazda Millenia

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I recently bought a 2002 millenium.  I am aware of potential problems.  Two days ago, the 'check engine light' came on.  At a mechanic shop, two codes showed up- one for a misfire on a cylinder (needing tune-up) and the second related to the EGR sensor.  I plan to do a tune-up and clean the sensor instead of replacing (if possible).  Here is my question.  Last night, the 'check engine light' did not light up. I did add new gas to the tank and did tighten the gas cap.  Any suggestions why the light went off!

ive also found out too ...if that gas cap is not turned atleast 3 times my check engine light will come on. once it is tightened right it takes about 20 to 30 miles for the light to go off

I had the check engine light and the "check fuel cap" light on. My 2006 Mazda Tribute had three codes, rough idle, and hard crank. I went to clean or replace the EGR valve.... turns out it was a simple $2.00 fix....bad vacuum hose to the EGR valve....now no lights, and running smoothly....check your vacuum hoses really well...
