This happens after the engine is warm and I've been driving a few minutes at sustained high speed (3800 - 4000 rpm). It quickly goes out and doesn't come on again until I decelerate and almost stop. This happened a year ago on a long trip and caused me some concern, but hasn't happened since. Is this anything to worry about?
The oil seems a little over the max level. Could this be the cause?
Paul, this is one time you NEED to check the archives. This subject has been discussed by myself and many others many, many times in the past. Please note that I will be away from my business travelling in Mexico from November 19, 2007 until April 30, 2008. Parts orders will be processed although not as quickly as usual. I will always be available for contact by E-mail. If you phone your call will be addressed by Greg T. Brown here and he will either call you back or advise you to contact me directly by E-mail. Details of this adventure are at _Buses in Zamora_ (http://ca.groups.yahoo.com/group/Busesinzamora/) .
