Yeah... as far as i can tell its the only warning light on my guage cluster. Every now and then ill hear this audible pop.. dunno what that is but it just recently became noticable now that im paranoid about my tires randomly popping like my other one did on friday lol. I checked my tranny fluid after running it on the freeway and it looked fine, oil is at about the 1/2 way mark.. need to change it soon. I dunno the light is random in my opinion, ill sit out in my car and warm it up for 5-10 mins and then leave for school and maybe it comes on maybe it doesnt. Dunno but like i said ive got a hole in my intake thats lettin in unregistered amounts of air.. could be my computer is gettin thrown off and the cold temp isnt helping. i dont know.. soo much stuff ive gotta bring attention to its not even funny. The guy just took the cat off and threw a pipe in to the mix to bring my exhaust together but he didnt weld it up all the way... Yeah.. Just noticed my tabs are expired and the car isnt registered under my name yet either... lol... yeah...

Patch the damn thing already. It may look ghetto fabulous afterwards, butwrap some duct tapearound it or something, til you can get a new one.

Yeah.. thats what i was thinking... As far as luck goes... believe me i kno im not lucky.. who ever said the luck of the irish exsists... is wrong.. Also my tabs expired and my car isnt registered to me yet... i see a bad moon on the rise..
Ill tape up my intake, i just got new plugs and wires (when i brought it in for a tune up my mechanic said the original 1994 plugs and wires were still on it) I still have to buy a hi flow cat... 3 new tires before they pop too.. get rid of this valve tick.. i think i even may have rod knock but it might just be the tick sounds like a knock inside the car.. idk..

Time to play doctor! Get yourself a section of heater hose and hold it tight against one ear (your good one). Use it as a stethoscope and probe around.
RE: Engine in the cold
well, like i said before the guy took the cat off and just put a smaller pipe in there to connect the two pipes. When i start the car up in the cold i can see exhaust coming from under the passenger door.
