Enigine Looking Light??? WTF is it?
Ok, I was in a parking lot in second, and spun the tires up to about 5k rpm and then put the clutch in, as I did that I hear a metal on metal type bang. and the light that looks like an engine turned on, I assume its the check engine light. but how do I turn it off, and could I have dont something to cause damage?

interesting....
maybe the metal on metal sound was your car breaking from the 5k clutch dump in 2nd gear
as for the light that looks like and engine...you must have been hallucinating off the burnt clutch fumes b/c there is no light of that sort.

I've got that one too. I thought the low traction light isn't a picture, it just says "Low Trac" or something like that. maybe it's the low coolant light? When I first saw that, I could see that it might be an engine to some... on drugs....

ok here it is.
Light That Looks Like An Engine
Ok, now that we have established that the light does exist, how do I get it to go away, and what could I have done to make it come on, well i know what i did, but what kind of damage could that have caused?
