Hi, I just bought my new (used) '99 pearl white SLE Solara. Great car, but found this website was because I was trying to figure out why all the warning lights keep coming on. Gets frustrating when your car thinks its smarter then you. Now I know to not "top off" at the pump.

I look forward to chatting with you all
xoxo

welcome. have the error codes pulled out from autozone for free, then you'll at least have something concrete you are working with, and know where to start.

Now I know to not "top off" at the pump.

Sounds like she figured it out on her own (with help from SG maybe?)

Haha, no Blue, I didn't leave the gas cap off, (see pic, I'm not blond), its just that with my truck you can easily pump an extra $3-4 worth of gas into it. And as much as I was having to go to the gas station with that hog, I try to get as much in as possible.
But from reading the forum and doing research on the lara, I either bought it with an incorrect gas cap or its because, outa habit, I added more gas then the first click the pump made.

Thanks for the nice welcome

Welcome to SG. I went from a truck to my lara too, but kept my truck for hauling & because it's just plain tuff.. This is a great place to learn stuff about your lara.
