GrandPrix34 Posted October 20, 2003 Report Share Posted October 20, 2003 the "check gaugees" light has been flickering and coming on everytime I accelerate. Would this be stored as a trouble code? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99RegalGS Posted October 20, 2003 Report Share Posted October 20, 2003 Yes it should. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrandPrix34 Posted October 20, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2003 there are NO sensors sensing anything within the timing belt, camshafts and valves right? The mechanics that retimed my DOHC left the car shuttering horrbily. I am gonna take it tomorrow so they can pull the cam carriers cuz there is one bolt that is oscillating very fucked up (click on my WWW button and go to the mutlimedia section). THey say maybe the camshaft is damaged but i dont know...how can a camshaft get damaged? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99RegalGS Posted October 20, 2003 Report Share Posted October 20, 2003 The only thing I could think of is lac of oil to the cam. I remember seeing that video to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaPaPooh Posted October 20, 2003 Report Share Posted October 20, 2003 if you get 12 yes all electronic sensors and such are in order but the noise cam gear doing what it does is no good but you know all this pointless post for 500 posts!! 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slade901 Posted October 20, 2003 Report Share Posted October 20, 2003 I would suggest to check your oil level and topped it off. Around 3,000 Miles and without adding oil, the check engine usually comes on once in a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redfox340 Posted October 20, 2003 Report Share Posted October 20, 2003 the "check gaugees" light has been flickering and coming on everytime I accelerate. Would this be stored as a trouble code? No, that's a Service Engine Light; and that would store a code. Your "Check Gauges" means that one of your valuable fluids are low or over / under the limit. When was this doing it? We're you running on a low tank of gas? If you're accelerating hard and it's not the coolant or gas, then I would say that it's a oil related issue. Could be as easy as an Oil Pressure Sending (OPS) unit or a fading Oil Pump. Dig around, test a few things and make sure everything is up to par. - Erik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phantomshado Posted October 20, 2003 Report Share Posted October 20, 2003 my check gauges light comes on every time my gas tank is around 3 gal. Yeah, just listen to redfox, its most likely a fluid problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
