Dear Gurus,
Some months ago, the engine light in my 89 colony park came on and I quickly added water and replaced a radiator hose. Recently the check engine light has been coming on, intermittently. My mechanic checked the car: nothing wrong. The engine light can be in full glow - until I put the car in neutral and restart.
So it's a bad gauge, I'm thinking probably the temp sensor. No big problem, a good excuse to get oil & temp guages mounted on the A-pillar.
Howsomever: I'm going to spend my New Year's eve in Ohio at a sheepdog trial with four dogs. It's a nine hour shot. Weather, country roads are unpredictable and I've limited slip and good chains. But the last thing I need is a red engine light glowing at me and making me wonder - did the mechanic really do his job?
I'm no guru. Last engine I rebuilt was a 51 Powerwagon. But is there some fuse I can pull, some wire I can cut that'll make the damn thing go dead until I get the new gauges?
