Hey Mike==It can but why guess. Go to Auto zone and have them check it our for free and you will know what is causing the light to come on. You can clean 02's but be sure the carb cleaner you use has NO silicone as it will ruin it for sure. GoodluckJoe

What could the service engine soon light mean on a 1998 Chevrolet Lumina?
the light is a warning to you that something is wrong and your engine is not operating correctly and needs to be serviced soon. Most times there is a part of the emissions systems that set it off, like a bad sensor somewhere. You will need to get the CODES read. The codes are then converted to a diagnostic problem and then the parts of that system need to be analyzed to see which one is not operating. I will ask this....did you just recently get gas? You must turn the gas 3 clicks when you put it back on to make sure the correct pressure is in the gas tank otherwise you will get a check engine light. So go check your gas cap and if it is tight.........then you will need to take your car to a place liek Autozone and they will put a diagnostic scan tool on your car usually under the dash under the steering column and pull your codes. From there it is up to you where you decide to get it fixed, either by yourself or a garage. By the way after you tighten the gas cap you will need to drive some miles AND go thru a few stop and start cycles with the engine befoer the service engine light goes out if it was a gas cap issue. The light will not automatically turn off after you tighten the cap.

What else can be wrong if your engine light is blinking if its not the cluster or the speed sensor could it be the alternator your car died on the road a couple times Can anyone help you out?
a check engine light that flashes while driving has nothing to do with the speed sensor or alternator a flashing engine light shows that there is problem that is causing catylitic conver damage for instance if you had a bad spark plug or spark plug wire that was causing a missfire then the light will flash there is no other reason for the light to flash

Is there a map sensor in a 1998 Pontiac Montana transport?
What you are referring to is a MAF (mass air flow) sensor, not a map sensor. this regulates your air/fuel mixture and if clogged can affect your emissions control system and turn on the check engine light. Sometimes you can clean the MAF sensor and the problem will go away, other times you might need it replaced./
