Timing belt replacement, what you need to know
Go to a certified technician if you want service done right. Check engine lights can be triggered by such minor issues as a loose gas cap, bad spark plug wires or engine wetness. If your light indicates a non emergency, first check your gas cap and then your engine for wetness before taking your car in for repairs. Engines like to misfire if spark plug wires wear out, so give them a look as well. You may need only a simple wire replacement to make things right again.
