Check engine light is coming on intermittently

[Riprorin]

It seems to be going on and off more frequently.

What are the possible causes?

 

[ohtwell]

What kind of car?

Any other noises or differences in your car's driving?

What make?

Could be anything... like a faulty sensor.

 

[Joemonkey]

if it's a newer car, it could be something as simple as the gas cap being loose

oxygen sensor? ignitions? misfiring? ... hundreds of possibilities....

Give brand, model, year, trim, mileage, etc...

Could be anything.

You can either try and go to Autozone or similar when the light is on, or just wait until it's on solid and go have them pull the codes. That's really the only way you're going to figure it out.

could be a bad sensor or your flux capacitor is on the frits

It's a 1993 Ford Escort with a 5-speed manual transmission.

I did have the clutch replaced on Wednesday.

I checked the oil and it's a little low. Maybe I'll try throwing in some oil.

Otherwise it's driving fine
