Help needed with a specific CEL code...
Yesterday, while turning on the engine, my 98 Rodeo (89K), had a little difficulty starting; I should have kept the ignition going little longer, my fault... Then, the second try did not go through. Engine started at the 3rd try... 2 miles after taking off, Check Engine Light came on.
I had it read at the shop this evening while having an oil change. The code is 1404. I called the dealer and I was told that it is related to EGR.
Note that the CEL was not on anymore, when I picked up the car. Is this because the problem was intermittent or because it was simply "read"? If the first is true, is it OK to drive it around like this -until it shows up again?
Should I take it to dealer with the code 1404, even though the light is off now?
Thanks very much for your help and time in advance!
