    My check engine light recently came on, except it'll turn off once I get to 60mph. I have no idea what is happening. The uncertainty of what it is, is like how your check engine light is flashing and shuttering. We should probably both take our cars to an automotive repair place to have them looked at. http://www.valleyautomotivellc.com/conta...

Firstly decoding the meaning of check engine light. The check engine light provides an idea of what's wrong with a car. Some of the most common check engine light causes are:
-Loose gas cap
-Bad spark plug wires
-failure of Mass airflow sensor
-Vacuum system leakage
-Dead battery
And a lot more other reasons. You need to be careful regarding engine light if you can fix it by yourself then do it or take your car to auto mechanics shop. Because your safety is in your hand otherwise it may cause some serious failure in the future.

SOURCE: check engine light/rough acceleration

Dear atomicboy488,

A lot of Rain=Possible Water in the Gas=Erratic Running!
This sounds like it may be as simple as cleaning the water or gunk out of the gas tank which is what I always do 1st because it's easy and inexpensive.
If your fuel is contaminated with gunk, grime, WATER and/or bottom junk like rust this will cause stalling AND ROUGH ACCELERATION!
Try spraying a can of starter fluid in the air intake and see if it runs! If it does, it's most likely bad fuel or clogged injectors so....
Fill the tank with High Test, Add some DRYGAS and a good fuel system cleaner or 2 or 3 and this should dissolve all the gunk and clean the injectors! Read & follow the cans' instruction carefully.
If this cures the problem never let your gas tank get below 1/4 and especially never run it to empty as this is when the gunk and/or water will enter the system!
Hope this helps!
Good Luck!

SOURCE: Oil pressure light comes on after driving on highway for 10 miles

Sounds like your sending unit sensor - if it was your pump going out, your engine would be history by now. Rule of thumb, if your oil check light ever comes on, it's usually too late to remedy the problem. You have a major issue, but since you've obviousely drove it quite a bit since then and it still hasn't seized up, I'm guessing you're ok...for now. Since you took it to a shop and they said you're ok, I'm assuming they checked your level and visually checked for leaks and found nothing. Either, you've got somethijng partially blocking your pick-up tube for the pump which is in your oil pan, or a electrical issue with the sensor. I would start by having someone check the sensor out and go from there...good luck.

SOURCE: 2002 Jeep cherokee check engine light on. code p0122

Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor A Circuit Low Input

This usually means the sensor is unplugged or you have an open circuit. Check the wires to make sure there are no breaks in them.

Derrick Shultz and Lidia Harper - Indian spammers? Replaced transfer case shift motor now service 4x4 light is on

The 4X4 service light was not on with the original shift motor in place? Is the new shift motor new or used? I can only guess the replacement motor is defective, not correct for your model vehicle or the transfer case has internal damage. I would like to know the Year, Make and Model. Look around and tell me if the transfer case allows the motor to change position. Remove the motor and test by rotating the rod. Will it rotate to other positions? Check for a blown fuse. If this checks out ok then the motor or related wiring could be to blame.

You didn't say what model but this code is the Transmission Overdrive Solenoid open/shorted. Disconnect the negative battery cable and hold it on the the positive battery terminal for a minute or so then reconnect and see if the code comes back. If it does have the transmission repaired.
