The "Check Engine" light means that the computer has stored a fault code. You need to use a code scanner to read the fault code. Code scanners can be borrowed, rented or purchased at most auto parts retail stores.
If you don't have a scanner take it to Auto Zone or I think even Advantage does it and they will tell you what the code is and erase the code for you.
There are pages and pages of things that can cause a check engine light. You need to have it checked with a scantool. Then the code can be diagnosed and repaired.
The check engine light on a 1999 Ford Ranger is between the full mark of the gas gauge and the left turn signal arrow
Provided you are talking about the MIL Light = Malfunction Indicator Lamp? the 97 Mark VIII is an OBDII computer system. it requires a scan tool to reset / turn off the MIL / check engine light. it requires repairing the fault / problem to keep it off. drl
controle the front and back air suspensions for leaking air.
im not positive cuz i dont have a 318 i have a 325, but i think that is the check engine light... It is actually the tranmission service light.
Lincoln did not offer a Mark VII in 1993.. Lincoln stopped production in 1992. Then started the Mark VIII in 1993
Check the basics, With an inline spark tester ($6-8.00) check for spark. Does the fuel pump make noise when you turn the key (whining noise)? Is the fuel getting to the engine?
Is the engine tapping when running? If not, check the oil level. If the oil level is at the full mark on the dip stick, then check the oil sending switch. My just need to replace it. Easy fix if that is your problem.
Try turning the switch off in the trunk on drivers side.
Was it making any kind of out of the ordinary noise? Likely burned out but check the wireing for breaks where it could ground out etc.
With the guage cluster that includes a tachometer there is a check gage light , that is located just above the tachometer at the 3,000 RPM mark . The check gage light comes on if the engine coolant temperature is high , the engine oil pressure is low , or the vehicle is almost out of gas . There is also a fuel reset light to the left of the gas gauge
