I have a 2000 3.6 with 80,000 miles.

I did the lazy man's oil change on Saturday and went to Jiffy Lube. I had them change the PCV valve while I was there because I can't remember the last time it was changed.

Now my check enging light is on. Do you think one has anything to do with the other.

Any simple things I could check before I bite the bullet and take it in.

Thanks.

Check the vacuum hoses on the airbox. Sometimes they become loose when they check the air filter.

O2 sensor has a life of about 60,000 miles. If you haven't replaced those, that will cause a check engine light to appear.

Autozone will run a check for free. If it is the 02 sensor, be ready for $$$$.

get a code reader and scan it, thats the only way to know for sure. once you know the code, post it here and someone will know what it is.

PCV u think he assembled it back correctly, or put the hose back on

It looks like it's in there correctly. I just thought is was funny that the light came on soon after it was replaced. Could be a coincidence I guess. I'll go Autozone and get the code read.

Thanks for the replies fellas!!
