Based on the tiny amount of info you shared, I’d suggest you take it to a mechanic. ---

Based on the wealth of info provided, I’d guess it is your reverse amplitude regulator valve. ---

Another one and done post. The original post by Adam03 had the Edit sign on it. I think that it was first post to the worthless Carcomplaints site and then a Moderator moved it here . Adam may not even know it on this site. Is that correct @GorehamJ ? ---

I have been watching this happen for a while now… The edit to the OP post is when the ask someone who owns one is reworded as this one was, I remember cause I almost always quote the whole post just to see if the name of the post gets changed as it did here to - Vampire drain and CEL… Then if you click on the mods group to see which one was of the last on, it shows one (Carolyn or GorehamJ) on about the same time the post was edited… That could be a day, a week or however long it takes them before checking in on us kids… lol But GorehamJ can correct me if I am wrong, or Carolyn…
