I was driving and I looked at my speed radar and under the "check engine" flashed. What is the problem and what should I do to fix it?

take your car to like auto zone and have them run a test on it

The computers in modern cars monitor a host of conditions, and any of a dozen or more abnormalities can cause the computer to cry for attention. There is a connector somewhere near the driver's seat where a diagnostic monitor computer can be plugged in; it can ask the on-board computer what the trouble is and display a result. Diagnostic computers can be had at auto parts stores for $100 or so. Best bet is to take the car to a shop, where the shop tech will do this to identify the problem, and be able to suggest a fix.

Check engine light can mean anything from a exhaust or engine intake problem to a loose gas cap. Need to take it to a mechanic....

you can have it hooked up to a machine by a mechanic and it will tell them whats making it go off, however when we have it done the light just comes back on the next day...
