Car takes linger than usual to start and check engine light is on.

Hi! This is Bo with Car Genius at RepairPal! Well, that's no good! Thew first step would be to have the code checked and then diagnosed. It could be any number of things like a misfire, air fuel ration being off, thermostat, etc. Having the code pulled will at least let you and the tech know what area of the emissions system to start with. If you can avoid driving it, I would until you get this sorted out. Also, don't forget that RepairPal has a recall checker you can use to see if there are any recalls that may describe the same symptoms you're having. If you have any other questions feel free to call us at 877-913-1554! We'll be happy to find you a certified RepairPal shop in your area!
