Greetings everyone. This evening on the way to a Banquet, I noticed a "Check Engine Light" on the Jaine's dashboard. Jaine has been regularly maintained and up kept her whole life. She has 109630 miles on the odometer and usually runs fine.
No serious issues on the way, but after sitting in a parking lot for 3 hours, we saw that it was still on. On a 10 minute drive home, we noticed that her idle fluctuates between 900-1700 RPM and revs on her own while sitting in Park or at a stop light. Jaine does not overheat, partly due to a new radiator installed in the fall. Still have ice cold AC through the vents. The waterpump was also replaced then too. All the fluid levels are fine; oil, coolant, water, etc.
Frankly, I don't know whats going on. Recently, the belt has been squeaking quite a bit in cool weather and we had an incident in the winter where the battery "died", but was really fully charged. She wouldn't start.
If anyone knows whats wrong, please let me know. Taking her to the doctor soon!
