Stop into your local auto parts store and ask them to read your trouble codes. If your vehicle is 1996 or newer they may be able to help you identify what the problem is or at least give you an idea of where to start looking.

I have a 2010 LS Camaro with 67000 miles, stored in the winter. The check engine keeps coming on. I took it to have the codes read and replaced the parts that registered. However, the check engine is still continues to code the same issue...
