The same thing happened to me to yesterday when I took it out of hibernation. Actually a couple of days now that the weather is warming up. I wonder if the gas that's sitting in the tank for the winter month is going stale. I did use the 'stabil' gas treatment. I'm trying to drive it as much as I can to burn off the old gas and fill it up with fresh fuel. I took it out again today and the 'service engine' light stays lit. Should I be concern and take it in? It's an '02 and only has 17,000 kilometres, barely driven.
