    Smile engine light

    hey guys first time post i have a vg 1991 and i was wondering my engine light comes on after like 20 min of drivin stays on for a min then turns off, what is the cause of this, i do no that my manifold has a slight crak on the passenger side but does that have anything to do wth it due to the oxy sensor? any help will be appreciated. cheers.

    you could try filling/sealing the crack with somekind of sensor safe gasket goo.. the light could be a fault due to an air leak
