so im having a bit of a problem as stated above my Computer light won't turn off (atleast i think its the computer light, it is an orange light to the Right of the Speedometer and its not the check engine light as that is on the other side) i know i have a short to ground in my Oil Pressure Sending wire because my factory oil gauge tops out without the engine even running, would this cause the computer light to stay on? i also have a ScanGauge II and it isn't showing any codes.For my final question if the computer is reading there is really high oil pressure will it retard timing becuase now the car bogs a bit in the low rpms (between 2-7 psi it kinda stops building boost and just bogs) and i just did a BLT and replaced spark plugs yet problem still persist.

Thanks, Dave
 
Ha that'd probably what it is I feel pretty stupid now.the light is orange I will upload a pic if I can but I'm on my droid.its an orange light that resembles a funky pentagon with like 5 vertical stripes on it
 
Well checked the coolant, overflow bottle was empty radiator was pretty much full.filed both up light was still on unplugged battery let it set and hooked it back up light is still on,any ideas?
 
Should be a coolant level sensor. Should be by the thermostat, but I'm not real sure which one it is. Mine has two on there. Make sure they are plugged in. If they are, I would go to a parts store (shouldn't matter which one, just a level sensor) and get a new one. Then you'll know for sure which one it is by how it looks. Swap it out and should be fine.
