Your car came from the factory with what is called PassKey. If the ignition is tampered with at all it will cause that light to come on, and your fuel pump will be cut off. BUT, the ignitions in the Cavs/Fires suck and it sounds like the ignition is just getting ready to take a crap. Be ready to replace it soon.

to add to the above, you NEED to have an obd-II scanner to check the service engine light.
