Service Engine Light is on

Hey All, I just registered and I am amazed at the amount of information on the site!

My first Question: I bouhgt my Evo right at the end of 03. All is well, but the "Service Engine Soon" Light keeps coming on and going off. I have been to the dealer and they reset it, but it still comes on. The dealer tells me that it is a vibration from the Transmission that is setting off the light. So, they want to put in a new trans. I am hesitant to do this, since it will no longer be a numbers matching car after just two months of ownership. Is this a common problem with the Evos? Any and all feed back is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!


-Greg

well if the dealer is willing to replace the part for free, i would go ahead and do it, unless you attempt to fix it, that problem will never go away.

Ask them what the code is, then post it here. There was a rumor earlier about tranny vibrations causing a code but maybe yours is different.
