    Mine was coming on on my 89. I replaced the cap, rotor, plugs, wires, and O2 sensor before it would go off. All of these parts are relatively cheap and can be found at advance auto, if not anywhere else. I think all of this cost me like $50-$60.

              Not a problem... I hope this takes care of your light. I hate when those lights are on, and you have no idea why...

                  Hey Joe, the original sensors are high dollar, a universal sensor will work for you and save you some $. Just a tip, in hopes that you'll turn us on to another great video clip .... ;^)

                      as soon as i got mine i changed the cap, button, wires and plugs. and eventually the o2 sensor. still the light comes on after about 10 min worth of 55mph+ driving.
                      it'll do the 1/8 in 13.7, spin tires, and make all my drunk buddies giggle.

                        is this from a cold engine?
