Also, always remember that the "check engine" light comes on if the computer has a headache, or it thinks the engine would flunk a smog test at the moment.

Generally, it does NOT indicate the actual demise of the engine is imminent. (Such as an oil pressure or temperature light)

Check your gauges, and if engine temperature and oil pressure are "normal", don't sweat the light too much! (At least if you're not on the way to a "smog test".

Some of the newer vehicles are really touchy with what it takes to set off the light (to meet clean air regs.), and despite the best efforts at the dealer to lighten your wallet, the light will still come on from time to time.
