my check gage light is on, on my 95 chevy caprice what does it mean?

Question

I've changed my battery, atlternator, water pump, and thermostat.

Answer 1

It means that there is an electrical fault somewhere in the car causing the engine light to turn on. The car is pre OBDII meaning that most parts stores are unable to read the code as the car is set up on the OBDI set up. take it to a garage and have them diagnose the problem for you. This could be a very minor issue that turned the light on, or it could be an extremly major issue to turn the light on. Proper diagnosis is a must.

Answer 2

check gage......or check engine?......check your gages means just that.......if your light says check gages......your car must have them.........fuel......volt/amp.s.....oil pressure.......coolant temperature......fuel is only for your info& will only turn on a light if your very low....................volts should read between 12.5 & 14.5 any more or less is a problem.......amps should read..+ if it reads- you have a problem........oil pressure should read 20lbs. hot to 60lbs. cold at higher rpm......coolant temp should read 195 ...to 210 degres at normal operating temp.......check your gauges to see if they fall in theese catagories...........if your light says check engine......have your on board computer checked for trouble codes.
