Random ses light

I've got about 10.5K miles and haven't made any changes in a while except for the oil changes. went and got gas and back to work, then started it and let it warm and cut it off, 10 mins later drove across the street, and then leaving there i notice it on. I'm goin to get a code tomorrow.

any one wanna take a stab in the dark as to what it is?

I'm in the club too...got my first around 7K miles, switched plugs, just came back around 13K miles...switching plugs in a few minutes as well as getting the dealer re-flash as soon as I can schedule it.

One thing to consider on top of the well known nature of the problem is that if you get it reflashed at the dealer, you may preclude later flashes for the purpose of tuning. While I don't know the details, Shiv@Vishnu was down here in Texas tuning over the weekend and one of the guys could not get an XEDEFlash because of the dealer reflash for P0300. Shiv commented that he did not know of any of the "flash" tuners that could flash over that P0300 reflash.

Anyways, don't ask me for more details, I don't have them.

br,
dave
