There is only one cause -- the elapsed-mileage switch (located in a box under the left-front wheel, inserted in-line in the speedometer cable) has turned it on. You can turn it off again by locating the box, finding the shrouded button and pressing it until it clicks. Sometimes it takes more than one press to turn the light off. The light will then stay off for another 30,000 or 60,000 miles, depending on the switch-box. I think in '86 they went to 60,000 miles. If you want to change out the O2 sensor, feel free -- that's what the light is reminding you to do. david
