    Default Check Engine Light

    My check engine light has been on while driving and I believe my OBD is trying to tell me something but not quite sure what it is as it doesn't flash. It just stays on while I am driving and I don't feel like much has been affected... Asides from my engine's low idling especially when i turn the A/C on or radio. its even at times feels like its struggling until the revs reach over 3000rpm... Could it be a faulty Battery an Alternator or something else?

    If it was the battery or alternator the battery light should light up. Check the fault codes.

    I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

    Sounds like the o2 sensor get it to a mechanic so they can plug it into a computer to see.

    Its not a xmas decoration,obviously something seriously wrong with your car,no one can tell you what it is,could be one of 1001 things,instead of wasting time by playing guessing games here,why dont you take a trip to Holden before possible more damage?
