Service Engine Soon OK, so I was driving my 2002 Camaro LE today and I noticed my "service engine soon" light was on. I just got this car and this is the first I have seen of this. I assume that its one of those programmed maintaince points newer cars have or a minor emissions issue. The car is driving just fine and I have noticed anything strange about it. Is that all this light tends to be...or is something I should be worried about?
Oh, the car has 47,777 miles on it and its a 2002 Camaro SS LE M6 SLP car.

Take it to Autozone and have it scanned (they do it for free). Your code will tell you what's wrong. Or just buy an OBD II code reader for $100 and do it yourself.
I've never heard of the SES light coming on for programmed maintenance intervals on these cars. That's usually for European cars so they can charge you $800 to change the oil and reset the light.

check the pcv elbow that goes to the intake on the front. Mine was sucked together and ended up tearing a hole in itself. Its wierd but I found it because it was making a sucking sound. After I replaced it my light went off. Just a thought. It can throw a code for low catalyst on one of the banks and seem like it is a o2 sensor or bad cat but more than likely it is something simple. hopefully anyway.

The code I got is P0327 which codes for the front knock sensor. But, the autozone scan said oxygen sensor. I'm more inclined to trust the code...obviously, but I'm not sure how to proceed with fixing this.
Oh, and the gas cap is on all the way.

OK, so I'll have to check that. If it came unplugged...it wouldn't surprise me because the light came on the other day when I had gotten on the throttle pretty good.
If you could, would you please post a picture so I know where on the intake the sensors are? I'm not used to working on newer motors and all the electrical stuff is kind of a maze to me. Thanks!!!
