I get into my P5 to make a quick beer run...And the check engine light comes on and stays on. I drive about 5 miles, shut the car off, nothing. Light stays on.
A little background info:
-I changed the oil for the first time yesterday and put a different filter on, a K&N oil filter; used the same 10W-30 Mobil1 that was in there before. I drove over 100 miles last night and everything was fine.
-My car has the injen cai and the racing beat catback. The original owner (I bought the car 2000 miles ago) got a check engine light and had to clean the maf b/c oil from the filter got on it.
Whew, now the main question - How do I check the code(s)? Do I need to buy a diagnostic tool?
Any help is much appreciated-
