Black smoke is an indication of an overly rich fuel/air mixture. You need to have the ECU scanned as there must be a fault code set. In fact your Check Engine light should be on all the time. Use the fault code to help find the problem.
It really depends on what the cause of the check engine light is.
check the trans fluid, if it is low then it probably wont go in drive. The vibration could be caused by a misfire. is the engine light on? yes the engine light is on
You can drive your car with the yellow 'service engine' light on the dashboard, but it is not recommended. This light warns you of the need to have the engine serviced.
It is safe to drive you car for at least one mile after the check engine light comes on.
The light is NOT a low oil light. It is a low OIL PRESSURE light. You can drive it until the engine seizes. Of course internal engine damage will start to occur as soon as the light comes on and you have no oil pressure if you continue to drive the vehicle.
No, have it looked at by a professional.
yes
fix the problem and the light goes off its sensors or cat converter but if it runs good don't worry drive it there is nothing really wrong with it light just stays on
If you continue to drive a vehicle with the check engine light flashing you will do catastrophic damage to the catalytic converter(s). This can lead to big bucks for repairs.
Yes you can. But you will want to check you're engine soon.
Yes but, if the light is flashing no.
My answer really won't help. Sometimes it can harm the vehicle sometimes not. If perhaps the calalytic ccnverter is plugged, yes it can damage the engine. Usually if the car performs as normal, no real damage will occur.
