Driving this weekend and the amber "service engine soon" light came on. It's solid and does not blink. I called the dealer on Saturday, they said maybe the gas cap was loose and to tighten it, which I did without resolution. Where is the OBD located, so that I can go to my local Advance Auto and borrow their OBD tool/computer to see what the code is.
 
Not having looked at it, but it should be below the steering column, kind of below and in-between your knees if you were seated in the drivers seat. It may be somewhat tucked up out of normal sight, but it should be in that neighborhood.
 
sit in the car,

with your right hand, feel under the right hand side of the steering wheel finisher.

you can just look under there and see it--if it was a raccoon it would bite you. :D

yes scan the obd port and post up the code here. let us find out the info first. could be something as easy as clearing the ECM--which I recommend doing, along with the idle air and throttle position procedures...
 
Ok, light went off for 1-2 days, but now it's back on....!! plugged in the OBD tool and got the following code. P008A -Low Pressure Fuel

Manual says code result of:

A condition of low fuel pressure 0.23 MPa (2.3 bar, 2.346 kg/cm2, 33.35 psi) or less continues for 5 seconds or more after warming up the engine

Possible causes:
• Harness or connectors (The low pressure fuel pump circuit is open or shorted.)
• Low pressure fuel pump
• Fuel pressure regulator
• Low pressure fuel system
• Out of gas


ideas??
