yo, i know it could be a number of things but what is your best guess on this engine light check.
it is a 95 se auto with only 63,000 miles on it. i baby this car!
i need a oil change but damn! i do hear a strange noise everytime i start the engine. after it turns over it makes a slight grinding noise. any suggestions before i take it to the dealer? i've been driving it for a week with the light on and it's running great.

Grinding is starter
I get a slight grinding when i start it only when it is cold...the shaft in the starter isnt throwing itself back fast enough and its getting caught up on the flyweel...you can get a rebuilt starter but i got A rebuilt at 60K and i have 87K on it now...it must have been a bad rebuilt....on regards to the light...mine is on too im gettin it looked at on friday when i checked what it was it came up to a SMALL gas leak...i got a new gas cap but it still came on after i turned it off again....it must be a small leak back by the gas tank on one of the circulation lines./..it could be alot of different things for yours...make sure you didnt open up the gas cap with the engine running cause it will turn on for that....oh yea i got a 96 se
