    1992 gmc started showing the service engine soon light?

    I suspect the oil pressure and Check Engine light is unrelated. This vehicle was built before 1996 and will have an OBD1 computer. It takes a different GM only code scanner. Most major automotive parts stores can extract the diagnostic codes from the computer for free. However you may have...

    Where I live the 5th generation Impala was made between 1971 to 1976. These were big heavy V8 powered cars that sucked a lot of fuel. The earlier models because they were powerful, the later ones because the early emissions systems and first generation catalytic converters really choked the...
