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.
Could be a plugged fuel filter or damaged/plugged catalytic converter. If the check engine light is or has illuminated check for codes.
YES
That would work on cars before 1995 but it will not now. The computors have more knowledge and have to be reset with a scanner.
yea
it means you need to check the engine
You can not disconnect the check engine light.
Unless you have a scanner or the equalivant then you think you reset it when in reality you have only had to reset the clock.
A flashing check engine light is an indication of a severe engine misfire.
Auto Zone will check your engine light for free... Write down the codes and go from there.
The check engine light is a " picture " of an engine , just to the left of the engine temperature gauge
According to the 2000 Ford Explorer Owner Guide : No , a separate fuse for the check engine light is not listed
