    I assume by the light being on that you are talking about the SES light. You are going to have to have it scanned, A lot of parts stores will do it for free now. When you get the code, come back here and post it and we can help then.

      The only way you will get any sort of clue as to what is wrong is to get a scanner on it. It is only going to keep getting worse, and eventually won't even run. Then you'll need a tow truck to get it to service. I can't understand what "has to be inspected for warranty" has to do with anything. Please explain.

      By the way, you have 8 coils..... which one do you think it is?

        yesterday i call a local schevy dealership asking about extended warrenties...they said that scince that car just came off warrenty and had so little milage, that as long as it passes an inspection, they will warrenty it. I was an my way there and the car started acting up...no it is having trouble starting and u smell gas.

            I'd have to agree with injuneer. Until you get it scanned and have some codes to look at there is nothing anyone can do to help much. I do not believe your car is a lemon, and would encourage you to not get to upset about a few little problems. F-bods are not Hondas. They will not go 150K without ever breaking. That does not make them bad cars, it just means you need to be a bit more understanding and willing to work. The payback is worth it, in my opinion as a hobbyist.

            Look at this in a posative light. This is a chance to learn about your car and bond with it. This is a good excuse to purchase a scan tool . This is not the last time your SES light will come on, you know.

            When you get some codes out of your PCM post them.
