“Not 2 days after regular scheduled service, the check engine light illuminated on the dashboard in mid 2005. I contact the daewoo dealer that had been the sole provider of service for the car since I purchased it for advise. After better securing the gas cap, I had no problem. The dealer is no longer a daewoo service provider. The same thing seemed to occur intermitently since then. I had a diagnostic checkup I was informed that the camshaft position sensor was the cause of the check engine light. …”
