Check Engine/Fuel Light/ and cold weather
I may have the same problem and wanted to get an opinion here (my search function for other simlar posts doesn't seem to be working):
In the fall the Check Engine light came on intermittently and finally stayed off until now. Also, a couple of times lately the Fuel Reserve light blinks; this also happened to me once in the fall. As well of late, the car will crank with the key released in the on position, but not start - never heard any car act like this, engine cranking but clearly not going to start and key released.
Coincidentally this week the weather has been super cold, neg 15 last night, and the car does stay outside all year long. There was rough running yesterday morning, and today it would stall when put in gear until a few minutes warm up. Then it ran fine, check engine light still on.
Since I am 3 hours from a dealer, I will take it to the local guy this week to check codes but in the meantime wondering if anyone has a clue - thanks.
