Something's wrong w/ David's Insight.
The MIL engine light has been on solid for two weeks. (Gas cap tight and premium gas; he hoped this would fix it). There is absolutely NO Assist. When I drove the car today it quickly went into a recalibration, and would only charge back up to half guage. It's ailing.
After reading several similar posts, I'm guessing this is an O2 sensor problem and have a few questions:
1. What are the two O2 sensors in the Insight...is one the Air Ratio Sensor and the other the Linear Air Fuel? What exactly does the Air Ratio Sensor do?
2. Are faulty O2 sensors the only cause for a check engine light?
3. The ECM recall was supposed to be fixed. Are the O2/emissions components warranteed for 3 years or 8 years? The sensors look expensive.
4. This is really grasping at straws...but, could the fact that my husband rarely uses his seatbelt play any role?... could the belt alarm lights and bells somehow be tied to the engine light?
5. Would it be worthwhile to stop by AutoZone tomorrow and request a code check?
Silver has an appointment Monday at the dealership so we should know more soon.
Thank-you ...and grateful for any Assist.
