Had a CEL today
 

I left walmart, got in the 8. Started er up, and almost flooded. Then a Check Engine Light comes on ( was about 42degrees, and the car was under 4000rpm before) :banghead: , then I go to AutoZone to see what the CEL was , and it was a crankshaft sensor malfunction. Got back in the car, started up, and no more CEL?
Is this because autozone check to see what hapened, or was it a mistake?
Should I go to Mazda and get them to have a look? Or forget about it?


Thanks.

Avoid Walmart :spank:

They cleared your CEL when they read your code.

If it doesn't come back then the dealer probably won't have a clue

If is doesn't come back... don't worry.

If you have a problem the cel will come back. You can clear it again. Then if she comes back you have a problem.

Kind of strange how the car will tell you if there is something wrong uh?

Got to love computers, but need to know how to use them.

Mine came on last night and I don't know what it is but Dannobre is going to come over with his Laptop to check what it is. I am hoping for something small :O

I guess I'll just wait till/if it comes back up.
thanks for the help :)

if it comes back, go to the dealership

I wouldn't even trust Wal Mart to change my Air Valve covers on my RX-8
