Used to hunt with a guy that owns his own mech shop.  He said if the light isn't red, it doesn't matter and won't hurt anything.

Mine is on because of a carbon sensor or some crap.  I will never fix it.

Autozone and places like that can run a diagnostic on your car and produce a code. Sometimes they can tell you what the code means and sometimes they can give it to you for you to look up online.

I've had the gas cap reading, and also a cylinder misfire. The cylinder misfire was because my spark plug wire was touching my steering column.  I ended up getting a shorter wire and it solved it immediately.

You should check the 710 stick and your muffler bearings.

Too many rough ridin' tabs open, and apparently I'm not quick enough with the delete.

Sounds like I should just mush this light and turn up the jams.

Disconnect and reconnect your battery. Works almost every time!
