Not positive of course without looking at the vehicle....however if it is full with oil...my next step would be to check the oil level/pressure sensor which should be found on the lower side of the engine block or on the oil pan itself....maybe melted wires...a faulty switch...something of that nature

Why did Choke Light come on in a 1984 Chevy El Camino?

If it is the choke indicator Light, it means that you did not set the choke when you started the vehicle. If the vehicle has a choke idiot light turned on, then it can mean that there is a problem with the choke/carb or there is a problem in the oil system.


Why does the choke-oil light come on in a 1980 Malibu?

You have a blown fuse. The most likely cause is the choke is defective. i don't think it has anything to do with a fuse . i think your choke is out of adjustment possibley a week spring in the choke causing the choke to open to quickly . your carb may also need a rebuild if its a rochester they are not to hard to do . lots of info on the web . alot of bad info as well . The choke works in conjunction with the oil pressure sending unit. Check a wiring schematic and you can trace it out. Replace the oil pressure sending unit.


1986 Chevy pick up 350 the choke light stays on or dims a little but don't go out gas mileage sucks whats the problem with the choke?

The "choke" light comes on to warn you that the choke is malfunctioning. Sucking gas mileage sure sounds like the choke is "on" all the time. That's why the light stays on. choke is wired in series with the oil pressure sending unit,had the exact same problem with my 84, replaced the oil sender which is mounted on the side of the engine block and all is good now
