SES light blown?
Real new here.
My car's been running real rough for a few days now. After a few minutes of driving it starts to get a misfire/hesitation/bumpy jerk at 2k rpm to about 3k or more, but the SES light wasn't on, so I've been reading things here and replaced my front o2 sensors, I just noticed that when I turn the key on when all the dash lights come on, the SES light doesn't, I thought it did? Am I right? (And if it is a blown light, how hard is it to change?) Also, any other suggestions on what my misfire/hesitation wierd problem is? (No recent mods.)
Thanks in advance.

Yeah it should light up turning the key on. If it's still acting up take the car to Auto Zone or someone who can read the codes - I'm thinking they'll still be there even if the SES bulb doesn't illuminate on the cluster. If you have any stored codes post them so we can help. And welcome to the board.

Ok, now it's wierd, the SES light is working again? When they went to scan the codes and turned the key it turned on then off, and my car wasn't throwing any codes, should I still try plugs and wires? How do you go about checking fuel pressure to see if it's the fuel pump? I changed the filter a few days ago.
Thanks
Thanks
