I know this is a really vague post, but my check engine light came on yesterday evening and is still on after many restarts - 1996 850 Turbo Sedan. Car still is running fine with no apparent problems other than the check engine light. I visually inspected everything under the hood and under the body ... no evidence of anything loose. Any suggestions before I take to the mechanic? I do not have the equipment to pull the codes on the
1996.Regards, .... Larry
May sound too simple....but are you sure this isn't the "Service Engine" light (literally says this, as opposed to pictogram of engine..) that comes on after an oil-change interval???
Thinking simply in Halifax,

No, it really is the check engine light. And I have also disconnected the battery for about 30 minutes then restarted .... still have the check engine light on. Thanks for trying to help. Appreciate it. The service light has been on for about 1000 miles. I have changed the oil but just have not had a chance to go have it reset.

You can go to
It's probably something to do with the emissions. Either one of the O2 sensors, or the air pump. It also could be a vaccum leak (that would be the least expensive). There are some push on hoses near the flame trap (turbo may not have this)..any way at the base of the air intake hose ..that you might check. I didn't have a turbo
850.. maybe someone else can help.Fred-
If you're in the US, from what I hear Autozone will read your codes for free....
