Sooner or later almost every driver sees a yellow "Check Engine"light. This means that the engine needs repair. This is generally aminor problem such as a defective emissions control, cracked vacuumhose, or a bad spark plug. It's a little known fact is that when the engine needs to be replaced,the "E" in the word "CHECK" changes to a "U". Thus it says "CHUCKENGINE".If you ever see the words "CHUCK ENGINE", you need a new engineimmediately. DO NOT continue driving. Your engine is trash.Take this message seriously. This is not merely a malfunction of thespell checker in your cars computer, this is SERIOUS. By the timethis alert occurs, you are likely missing some pistons, your valvesfell into the crankcase, there is a huge hole in your block, yourcrankshaft is stuck inside your transmission, your main bearings fellout, your engine head came off, or your carburetor got sucked intoyour exhaust manifold. These are all serious problems, and just a fewof the many terrible things that can happen to an engine.I know this for fact. Just last week I was driving down the road inmy Ford when I saw the dreaded words, in flashing red, "CHUCK ENGINE".I stopped the car and called the wrecker. My mechanic later told methat my water pump had sucked my alternator into the radiator, pushedit thru the 5th cylinder, and it was found embedded inside my muffler.I was given the choice to replace the engine, at the cost of almost$50,000, or to buy a new car. I am trying to get a second mortgage toraise the money for the repair, because I can not afford a new car.CHUCK ENGINE is a SERIOUS matter!!!!When you see these dreaded words, STOP DRIVING and seek help.

If I were to just take the bulb out of the dashboard, can't I prevent the "CHUCK ENGINE" light from coming on in the first place?
