Some people will tell you only an idiot would ignore them, others would say only an idiot would spend the money to have the problem fixed. I must admit I have lived both sides of the equation. One time the check engine light came on and I lost an entire motor. Another time the check engine light came on and after two days in the shop it was determined that I had a bad "check engine light sensor" So, what should  you really do when those lights come on?
