Question
How dangerous is if dash board engine check light is on.Is it safe to drive for three days. I have chevy cavalier 1991. Thanks

Answer
Hi Tariq....depends on why the light is on...could be as simple as loose gas cap... get scan tool and read codes...check all fluid levels...as long as you have good oil pressure and it's not overheating you should be ok....could just be an intermittant fault code...hope this helps
