BTW: PGM-FI fuel injection technology came from Formula 1. Thats why the electronics and sensors on Hondas are solid as hell.

Wife has a 1997 Taurus LX w/ the Duratec 6.  I own a 2002 Explorer w the IRS.  Never owned a Chevy (would before a DCX, now), DCX product or anything that uses minute rice (never will).  I've NEVER had an engine problem.

ONLY mechanical problem I had was a locked up slave cylinder in my F-150.  Take notice, don't be love muffin and puddle-jump when it is -10 below out :eek:.  Had to push the diddlyer myself.  

They might be from formula 1, but a part that old, toejam, it wouldn't be worth it.

I used to get the same exact light on my old 1986 Acura Integra.  It seemed to come on only on very warm days after I had been driving a while, usually right after I hit the breaks after exiting the highway.  It would then stay on until I turned off the engine, and then would go away if I turned it back on.

I never had any noticable problem with the car while the light was on, and I put 140,000 miles on it.

So you may want to wait until you actually notice a problem before throwing good money at it.

The first thing I do whenever I get a used car is disable all the warning lights and reminder bells. Who the hell needs to be nagged about buckling their seat belt? If I needed nagging I'd bring my mother in law along. And a "check motor" lite? I don't need a lite to know when to check my motor- I can tell by the black smoke and uneven idling if it's time to check the motor. My advice is take the damn warning light out.
