Check Engine Light and Looking for Good Washington DC Area Mechanic? 850

posted by  someone claiming to be mrplow on  Tue Sep 23 16:03 CST 2003 [RELATED]

A few days ago, the Check Engine Light on my 95 850 T5-R sedan came on while I was driving. This afternoon, I checked all the error codes and got the following:

A2 Fuel System: 1-2-2
B2 Cruise Control: 1-2-2
A3 ABS: 4-4-4, 2-1-3, 2-1-4
A7 Combined Instrument: 1-2-2, 1-3-2

I was able to clear all the codes except for the ABS. When I started up my engine again, the ABS light came on for a few minutes before turning off. The check engine light stayed off for about an hour before coming back on again. Looking at previous posts, it seems like a sensor or vacuum hose could be causing the problem? Another thing, I did fill the car up with 89 octane gas instead of the usual 93 a few days before the light came on. Any suggestions or similar stories to relate before I take it to the shop...?

Speaking of which, does anyone know of HONEST, COMPETENT, and FAIR mechanics or shops in the NW DC, Southern Maryland (Bethesda, Rockville, etc.), or Northern Virginia Area? I searched brickboard and found a few recommended places, but the posts were a bit old...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
