my check engine light never comes on....is it burnt out or disabled somehow?

 

So?

 

Is something wrong with your car? If there isn't, it shouldn't come on.

 

check to see if the bulb is even there. i purchased my evo from a very shady dealer and mine had been removed

 

when i turn on the keys all the lights lite up except the check engine light so i was wondering if it was burnt out or taken out or maybe disabled

 

yea ill look to see if there is a light even there

 

Ohhhhh now I got you. I thought you wanted it to come on when you're driving or something haha. +1 on checking for the bulb.

 

the check engine light is supposed to come on when you turn the key to the "on" position and when you start the car for a short period of time then shut off.

It has either burnt out or been removed. It's an easy and shady way for dealers to get a car to pass smog.

 

yea its probally removed or burnt out

sweet add that to my list

 

Damn, that is pretty f*ckin shady.. +1 on getting that bulb checked

 

I bought mine without the light behind the fuel and temp gauges

 

That's some shady **** what some dealers will do to sell a car!!

 

Yea, the guy I bought my car from installed a CEL Eliminator. Now I am stuck dealing with his problems and he sold a car he abused for top dollar. :-/

 

^i guess you should've looked at the car better....

OP,why do u care if the cel light comes on? is the car acting funny or something?

 

I looked at the car up and down, drove it, previously owned the same model. It isn't like I was going to take the entire engine apart, remove the exhaust system, take apart the transmission, and all to confirm the claims he made about the modifications done. You have to take someone at their word for a decent amount of what they say when purchasing a car (receipts help, but damn... he didn't show me the receipt for the CELE... haha). I know you'll disagree with this, since you love to disagree with me, so we'll just agree to disagree and leave it at that. Thanks.
