[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3212498, member: 15054"] When I have a car like that 180,000 miles and code or engine light comes on I do as you and research it. I also monitor the MPG and see how it drives..If it gets the same MPG I do not worry about it. My 1995 corolla emission code came up and this was at 150,000 or so miles. I checked many things and decided it still gets 33.5 MPG so told the wife keep driving it and I put a smiley face sticker over the light. Eventually the light burned out and the sticker fell off, still gets low 30's MPG and has 322,000 miles on it. It sees full throttle every time I drive it. Oil changes at 3000 miles trans fluid changes at 6000 miles and antifreeze at 50,000 miles, timing belts at 90,000. Car washed under the hood and undercarriage every oil change. We check MPG on every fill up on our cars. Monitor it and drive it. [/QUOTE]
