open the hood. is the engine still there? if not, diagnose that issue first. if it is there then idk why your light would be on.

Dude megatron it common sense. We cant do jack@!#$ unless we know what the code(s) are. As for my harshness, im fed up will idiots thinking that we can magically diagnose your car w/o knowing any info about it.

To satisfy you i will summon my JBO magical diagnostic powers and assume since you have mentioned any drivablity problems and going with my experience with my j-bodys. Im gonna guess its emissions related.

No CEL = No active codes = No problem at the moment.

I would still get the car scanned, cuz there should be a code logged in the comp.

x2 scan it. you dont throw codes for no reason. autozone scans for free, so why not try and fix it before it gets worse?

Have it checked out.

I'm gonna go with Tinkles and assume it's emissions related.
