You have to leave a $200 deposit though, if you know the guy and he's pretty cool he'll go outside with you to help you plug it in so you don't have to go through all that hassle
Take your car to Autozone and have them hook their scanner to your scanner port. The scanner will display the code for the problem causing the light to come on. It will also tell you the area of your engine that is tripping the code to come on. Autozone does this service for free at most stores. It means the computer has detected a problem with the emissions system. A scan of the computer with an OBD2 scan tool will bring up a fault code stored by the computer. This code will tell you what part is being effected by the problem. It will not necessarily tell you the part that is defective, but rather what is being effected. To determine what is actually wrong requires the skill and knowledge of a professional. Unless you have this skill and knowledge, pay a professional to fix the problem and do not just throw parts at it.
