(Check Engine Light)
There are many components that work together in the engine to maintain optimal engine performance and economy.
A service engine soon, or check engine light indicates that there is a sensor that is reading a condition that is "out of range".
Simply resetting the light does not solve the initial cause of the problem.
Replacing a number of parts trying to troubleshoot the problem in the hopes of getting the light to stay off is a tremendous waste of time and money.
The simplest, and most economical way to alleviate your issue, is to have an engine diagnostic done by a reputable shop to determine what caused the computer to signal you to begin with. Just reading the computer codes may not find the "cause".
That being said, if per-chance you feel the need to reset the light in the hopes that it was a "glitch" of some kind, you could disconnect the negative battery terminal for a couple of minutes to clear the check engine light.

The service engine soon light coming on indicates a fault in the onboard computer system. It is not related to the oil system. It can only be diagnoses with a "scan tool", which will give you a fault code. It could be something as simple as a vacuum leak, an electronic sensor, or the computer itself. One thing is for certain it will not fix itself, Once the problem is diagnosed and repaired the code can be cleared by the scan tool.

You have about 200 miles, they say, before the computer codes reset.

It may be vibrating, loudly because it's not firing the cylinders as it should. That could be because the computer has a problem. You might try disconnecting the battery for at least five minutes and see if that will reset the computer and if that will solve your problem.

Check your owner's manual to turn off the SERVICE light. Usually you hold in the button on the trip odometer.

The loud vibration you hear is the exhaust. There is a hole on the tubing or muffler.

sometimes it will vibrate when the brakes need to be changed, and when is the last time its been tuned up. You can also see if a dialyzes machine will tell you.

neons tend to have trouble with their ignition systems. Get the code scanned, and try replacing coil + wires... it could be this.

take it to the local chain auto parts store, most of them will pull the codes on your computer and tell you what they mean.

Nothing's wrong with your car, you just never read your owners manual.
