Basically this is what I seem to have discovered.......I bought the car Dec 26, 2009....drove the car home.....no problems!!! Next day I tried using the Remote Car Starter...wouldn't start.......brought the car back to the dealer and found out I had bad spark plug wires..ok......had them replaced and the light went out!!!....great!!!!.......used the Remote Car Starter again....engine light is on again and is idling like it did before wires were changed!! Is this common?? It's annoying as hell!!! Now I have to take the car back to the dealer and have it checked again!!! Should I go to Autozone and have it checked?? Will they charge me for it?? I checked the gas cap and everything else already......what could be causing this problem???

Thanks in advance to all who reply!!!!

 

Get the car scanned somewhere else and find out what the code is.

 

So, should I go to Autozone and find out what the code is?? How much will they charge me to find out??

 

Autozone will read your code for free.

 

My biggest area of concern is this.....what if the code says I have bad wires...again??? I just had all new wires put in today!! plus 2 new tire pressure sensors!!! The light stayed out until I started using my remote car starter....so is there a chance there coukld be a link between the two???

 

If it says you have bad wires, then you go back to the mechanic and demand it fixed

 

My issue is that I had all the wires changed today and everything was fine until I used my remote car starter!! Could there be a link between the two???

 

I could be a ton of different things. First thing is to get the codes. This will help narrow down whats wrong with it. Without them, its really hard to diagnose the problem, especially with these newer cars with all the electronics in them.

 

1. Yes this is true autozone gives you the codes for free, they also have shi**y scanners which give you five possabilitys for each code.
2.The ppl that work at autozone are NOT mechanics.
3.Do yourself a favor go to a real mechanic an if you talk to him hell probly tell you whats wrong for free.
4.Let the real mechanic fix your problem, thus problem solved.
5.Or gets the codes from autozone, buy unnecessary parts, fix yourself , and still keep the orange light on you dash.
6.sorry if it came off offensive

 

i Drive a 07 monte carlo and the thing with our models are that if the engine light goes on then the remote start does not work no matter what the prob is. I had a emissions leak and the light went on and the starter did not work. As far as the sparks plug going bad again who knows you deff would have to get the code checked because there are way to many things that could make a car run like that. And the tire sensors suck...well mine do they always come up at random times and stay on for a day or so then return to normal. Let me know what you find out
