Is it the yellow check eng light.
If so you need to get it put on a scanner and get codes.
post back code no.

Some parts places like auto zone give free code checks.

BUT!!!


Use Caution when getting the free code checks please.
Some parts places do offer free code checks. And also free repair advice. But beware. Just get the code no and post it back here and someone will help you.
They offer the free code checks in the hope of increasing there parts sales.
Almost all of them will also offer mechanical advice and some know what they are doing.
But just remember most of them are parts people pulling codes for free.
Not trained professional tech/mechanics. Even if they pull a 02-sensor code or another sensor related code it does always mean to replace that sensor and your problem will be fixed.
Please just get the code no and post it back here and we will help you.

No, its not the check engine lite. It looks like a sideways engine. The manual says its the malfunction indicator lite. Says it might be gas cap, bad gas or engine or trans malfunction.??????

Could be one of many things.
Best to get codes checked and post back code no.
