Check Engine Light
Had my first check enging light. I waited until it cycled and went out. Came back on. Took it to the dealership. It was a CO sensor. I let it re cycle just in case it was a gas cap. my car is a 2007 cayman s with 6800 miles. Had dealer do an oil change as it was in service for 14 months. All is fine.

An inexpensive CEL reader is a nice addition to any owners tool box. Usually you can decode the meaning of the warning and make some decisions without the potentially wasted time of visiting the dealer. Plus you arrive at the dealership forearmed should a visit be required.

Yes to all. Sears even has a pretty nice one. Do some Google research to make sure the codes are available on-line for the model you purchase like Actron's ActronŽ

Don't worry, I got a failed oxygen sensor with about the same amount of mileage as you, it happens with sensors these days. CEL would come on, then turn off, only to come back on again.

Took it to Rockville Porsche and they could not figure out what was wrong with it. Then took it to HBL, and they were able to identify the problem and fix it.

I have had the same problem for the past two weeks following replacement of my clutch, pressure plate. First, they replaced to O2 sensor and now the CAT on the same side. Do you know what HBL found when they fixed yours?
