Engine lights also report on transmission faults
take it and have the fault codes read first to find the sensor at fault then make that decision

Testimonial: "Ummm? It's 6:30 on a friday night. On his way back home from Illinois to Iowa. So really isn't an option. I'm going to assume, Run it until it quits. Thanks anyway."

    all of that information was not included in your original post so it is still relevant but you missed the reply proper ---drive it at your expense
    engine lights are not there as ornaments or to amuse drivers --but to save you money

Try putting the car in neutral and starting. If its a manual trans it might be the clutch pedal safety switch or it may be something as simple as a loose battery connection.

SOURCE: 2003 Audi A4 1.8T Check Engine light on

The CEL means there is a Diagnostic Fault Code stored in the Engine Control Unit. There are 1000's of DTC's, so you will need to have it read by a Code Reader. Auto Parts stores like Auto Zone, Pep Boys, perhaps even Advanced Auto often will read the code for you; but by law they cannot clear the codes. Many codes do not cause drivability problems, severe ones will trigger the ECU to run in a Limp Mode, which would require repair work before any trip longer than a few miles. Hope this is helpful.

2001 Jeep Cherokee Sport. Where is the ECM located in Jeep Cherokee Sport please?

It is in the engine bay next to the radiator cap. There are very few reasons where you ever need to go near it.

Oil pressure gauge goes to zero and check engine light comes on but oil pressure is fine

If the oil pressure switch shows zero, how do you know its fine? If the oil level is correct in the engine, it may be a faulty wire / connection or it could be that the oil pump is failing

1996 Jeep Cherokee Sport (approx 178,000 miles) When first starting engine liquid drips out from tailpipe. Never notice this before. Doesn't appear to last long, after I have driven it around for 15...

Your liquid is most likely built up condensation from the last run. It is very common to have this on start up. If it last a long time and is white and cloud like in shape and color then you have coolant leaking into the combustion chamber.

I hae a 1993 Jeep Cherokee Sport. It starts fine

What you have is a crankshaft position sensor that is breaking down under a hot condition .Also the sensors electromagnetic field is leaking out electrodes so when it rains for a while and the air is very damp this basically shorts out the sensor.The sensor is located on the back side of the engine, drivers side were the transmission and engine come together. I hope this will help!

I would pull for a rebuild. sounds like the torque converter is stressed due to some gear ratios that are out of whack. this will require a total rebuild if possible.
