hi folks,
didnt use my '97 GS for about 2 weeks. yesterday, i started the car and the "check engine light" came on
it's got almost 80k miles on it. i never noticed anything drastically wrong with it when i was using it, so i dunno what possible problems could cause this
i left it idling for a few minutes, but didn't notice any weird behavior. someone told me that some cars do this to remind the owner of an upcoming major maintenance, so just disconnect/reconnect the battery to reset. how true is this? could y'all tell some of ur experiences regarding the "check engine light" so i have an idea what i could possibly be dealing with? thanks
