What does error code P0401 for the check engine light in acura mean?

I just had this happen to my Ford Taurus, what I've been told is that it is a malfunctioning PGR valve (something to do w/ exhaust). I visited an autoparts store and they had the part I needed for $120 and said it's a pretty easy install for someone who know's cars. Luckly the check engine light went off, which might have meant I had a clog that worked it's way out.

My check engine light just came on do i need a tune up on my 97 ford explorer?

It could be anything from not closing your gas cap tight enough to major engine problems. In my experience, it has always been some kind of sensor that has gone bad. You might want to check your oil levels. Just take it in, have it looked at and take care of it.

What does the check engine light means if it comes on in a Dodge neon xlt 05?

The check engine light (service engine soon) comes on and stays on when a problem is detected by the self diagnosis system of your vehicle. Generally, the problem is in the emissions or something that is affecting the effectiveness of the emissions, but other causes can trigger the light to come on, too. To determine the cause, the vehicle will need to be taken to a parts store or a shop that has an OBD2 scanner, or for 1995 and earlier models, an OBD1 scanner, While a scanner will not give you the magic answer, it will give you a code that narrows down the problem area.

What does the check engine soon light mean?

It means the ECU has detected a problem with the emissions system. It can be minor, like a loose gas cap, or something more serious. Have the ECU scanned with an OBD2 scanner which will retrieve the code that will tell you what part is being effected. Not necessarily the defective part but what the problem is effecting. Most Auto Parts stores will perform the scan for free. Do not neglect this as it could be something that will cause other problems if not corrected.

Check engine light came on then car started stalling when you accelerated any ideas?

It sounds like you may have a bad mass air sensor. I just had this same problem on my daughters 94 Nissan quest. I bought a rebuilt mass air sensor for about 100 dollars and installed it myself( its easy to install)... they wanted 600dollars for the sensor alone and 80 dollars to install it at the dealer. After installing this part the car ran great again. However you may want to take the car into a shop and have them diagnos the check engine codes to make sure that is the problem. I did this first on my daughters car. It costs between 75 to 100 dollars for a shop to do a complete diagnostic test on the car....then you will know what all of the problems are.

Hope this helps
