    it comes on frequently then goes away. Im assuming theres a reason for this?? it never stays on permanently which makes me think that its just a maintanence reminder or something?

    I have 2004 2.7L Dcab

    I know it could be a million things, but my truck just hit 73,000 miles

    if anyone has an idea, I would appreciate it. thanks :D

    Some stuff. Not a lot, just some.
    You will have to get the code read before we are able to help. It could be anything. Stop by your local auto parts store and have them read it for you.

    do you reset the cel or does it go away on its own? from my experience with my old wrx, the flashing cel means a misfire. but get it checked anyways. auto zone use to check them for free
