Thanks for the reply
Now does anyone no a way of removing these plugs which are incredibly seized with out snapping them? (very long plugs as well)
Thanks again |

Hi all. I just picked up a 2005 2.5 rodeo for a friend .accelerated to 80 on motorway and the engine light came on. It still drove the rest of the way home (60miles) fine at 70 but I can't get the engine light off.tried disconnecting batteries for about 5/10 min but no joy. Also the dipped bulbs blew , not sure if this is related? Is there any other way to clear engine light?
Thanks |

I think the check engine light only comes lights up on the Rodeo if there is an exhaust emission problem. Which normally is the EGR valve sticking. |
