To get on the more technical side for a moment, I was told by a mechanic long ago that āwhen a ācheck-engineā lite comes on and no other indicator lites or guages show anything wrong, there is most probably nothing wrongā. āThe ācheck engineā lite was designed and placed there by the manufacturer to periodically panic the operator in order to take it in for a check upā.
Hence more money out for not necessarily needed repairs, or at least for diagnostic costs. What a gimic!
Iām with Nighthawks! Even if I had a clue what was wrong, cars are WAY too complicated to try to fix. That really is what AAA is for, to get me and my car safely to a place where they KNOW what to do.
I guess Iām not a Plugger after all, because I donāt know how to fix cars and I certainly donāt fit Crunkbotās description.

If I have a problem, I call my dad, who is certainly a Plugger.
