Three common reasons as to why an engine light comes on:
1) The O2 sensor is a part that needs to be checked and or replaced. This device keeps track of the amount of unburned oxygen left in the vehicle. If not fixed, the car will have to work harder burning more fuel.
2) The gas cap could be loose or missing. If this is not fixed, you will likely lose more gas through evaporation.
3) Catalytic converter needs to be repaired or replaced. This device helps get rid of harmful carbon monoxide vapors by transforming it into carbon dioxide. A vehicle can suffer damages if the catalytic converter is not working properly.
