Unfortunately, there is no dealer in Fort Smith, hence I need to drive 10 hrs to get to the nearest dealer.The OBD (engine light) come on/off intermittently, it will come on during cold months and gone spring time when weather is warmer.
Background of problem:
Ist occurrence in 2013, engine light went on during winter months. SInce no dealer at my area, I just left the car parked the whole winter, then brought it to Edmonton Alberta dealer for check-up. It was diagnosed with fuel level sensor low input and Cold Star Idle Air Control System performance.
2nd occurence in winter 2014, OBD went on. I did not use the car for the whole winter as bringing it to dealer for 10 hr to nearest delear at Grand Prairie Alberta is not a good idea during winter season with small car. However, during spring, a warmer weather, I started the car and after driving for few hours, the OBD light had truned off.
3rd occrrence in mid Ortober 2015 ( still in fall season); OBD light is on again. This time the speedometer and fuel gauge are not working. I cant drive this in highway as I wont be able to know what is the cars speed.
This is very frustrating as the car is still less than 30,000 KM and was bought brand new.
