- KT!@#Supposely, the first switch of key (before igniting the engine) should
- !@#lighten all the signs, such as check engine, battery, door, fasten
- !@#seatbelt, etc. If the 'check engine' is not lit, I know I won't be able
- !@#to start the car. This is the only symptom that I found.
-
- KT!@#The way I dealt with it is to open the hood and close it heavily (trying
- !@#to shake the car body). The 'check engine' sign normally came back
- !@#after a few try, and I can run the car again. I have been using this
- !@#low-tech method to deal with my car in the past few months.

- A loss of power to the car computer....such as bad connector at the
- computer OR a bad connector near the battery..and just to be sure...the
- car hasn't gotten wet on the inside has it? If yes then good possibilty
- of computer actually being bad....they are usually under front seat or
- front carpet passenger side... ^^^^^^^
