    i replaced my heater tap last week. took off spark plugs for easier access to heater tap. after replacing heater tap and re fitting spark plug leads. my engine light comes on a few seconds after i start vehicle once i drive off the engine light turns off. weird..im feeling that my spark plugs or leads could be stuffed, car runs fine.

    It normally comes on at start up. I think its just testing the system.
