Check Engine Light??

I know there probably isn't any help out there with a Supercharged 05, my being the "guinea pig" but, I have a check engine light that came on today and curious if anyone has had a problem? I stopped at a shop but, their Snap On scan tool wouldn't communicate. I'm leaving town tomorrow for 10-14 days so I plan to address it when I return. In the meantime, any input would be good.

P.S. It's not red and not flashing...solid yellow. I believe that would be non urgent, more a warning. yes?

I thought they were all yellow? Didn't know they changed colors?

I'm sorry but the cold meds just wont let me resist...

Have you tried checking the engine....duh!!!!

Again, sorry...blame Tylenol Cold and Sinus....


P.S. My wife says that I still can't have a Roushcharger. I replied with, "But everyone else is getting one." And she said "Well if everyone else jumps off a bridge then would you please do me a favor and follow them..."

Sure thing...In all reality though, my first guess would be it is pissed off about either and air/fuel ratio, or a timing issue...Does it seem to be in any kind of "safe mode"?

I have no idea....how would I know that? I've been away from performance cars for quite a few years. There was no such thing as a check engine light when we were pushing our cars around and paying .50 gallon for gas...

If it is not running rough, it is probably emissions related. Unless you find a scanner that will hook up, it will take a long time to pinpoint.
