If the "check engine" light is on the computer is NOT saying that all is OK. The light is there to tell you that you should read a code. It may be one of those codes that goes away next time the engine starts, so it would be a good idea to buy a code scanner and have it with you next time the engine dies, then you could read the code and see what the computer is trying to report.

You will need a engine scanner to do that. But there is a problem in the computer system--Emission system, and if you did not fix the problem then the light will just come back on again. Some parts stores will scan the engine for free.

How do you turn off service engine light 1996 Saturn?

The Service Engine light on all newer cars comes on because the engine control computer gets a signal from a sensor that is not within limits set by its program, thus indicating that the engine or the sensor needs to be serviced. The engine control computer can be interrogated with a device that plugs into the car. Most car parts stores will do this for you for free. That device can also reset the engine control computer getting rid of the offending code and the check engine light but if the problem is not fixed, it will just come back on again. After the problem is fixed (for example, you change an offending o2 sensor), you can reset the computer yourself by disconnecting the car's battery for a minute or two and then reconnecting it (take care and read the car's service manual on how to do that). It will take some driving for the engine control computer to reset before the car can undergo inspection by your state (usually about a half hour of driving or so).


Why would your 2003 Chevy Tracker stop while running?

More info is needed for an accurate solution. Does the car start right up again? If so, your may consider cleaning your fuel injector. Does it sputter just before dying? Does the engine crank quickly without having to push the gas pedal? Does it idle high at times, then seems normal for a while?
