When you were changing the oil in your Mazda rx 8 you cranked it with oil cap off now check engine light is ondid i hurt the engine?
As long as it was full of oil when you cranked it, you did no damage whatsoever. The check engine light came on because the ECU detected a problem with the emissions system which was the cap missing. Have the check engine light reset and you will be fine. You can disconnect the negative battery cable for 5 minutes which may or may not reset the light. If not, it will have to be reset with an OBD2 scan tool.

How long does it take for the check engine light to go out after replacement in 1999 Si Civic?
This is not a question that someone should be asking as there are numerous trouble codes that will illuminate the check engine light. You dont "replace" the check engine light. You fix what's causing the light to come on, then reset the engine computer by pulling the main fuse under the hood. If you've properly taken care of the problem causing the light to come on then the light won't re-light. It's always best to reset the engine computer as a first step as sometimes the engine will do something to illuminate the light then resolve itself. Normally on an older Civic the cause is a worn out O2 sensor.

How do you reset the check engine light on a 98 accord?
Assuming that whatever caused the check engine light to come on has been corrected, what has worked for me is to disconnect the battery and leave it disconnected an hour or so long enough for any residual current to leave the circuit board then connect the battery back up and it should be off. If it's not take it into a parts store such as Autozone that will do a free code check for you to find out what is causing the check engine light to come on.
