Re: Check Engine?

I had this recently on the 5k.  It happened about 3 times.  I thought the
light, with the engine running, indicated that ignition couldn't be
retarded enough to prevent detonation, or there was excessive detonation,
whatever that means.  I only used to see it when I was pulling a trailer
out of the muck and the engine RPMs dropped low enough that there would be
some dieseling.
