It's a Dodge, that's a ghost motor. It is suppose to have that light so you can see that a motor really is there, even though the performance says otherwise.

Also if none of this works, go to NAPA and buy 1.3 quarts of elbow grease and squirt it around the thermactor nebulizor solenoid. Then un hook the muffler and blow real hard in the cat it should fire right up.

Will this still work if the thermactor nebulizor solenoid was replaced with a flux capacitor? Also, the last time I tried to blow start the cat I got a mouth full of fur and more scratches than I had band-aids

Dang I hate when that happens. And yes it will work with the flux capacitor, just be sure to take it off and microwave it for 72.3 seconds before reinstalling. Since blowing in the cat didn't work, try pouring vinegar in your gas tank. That should blow the cat out and it should crank right up.

Its probably that smog stuff. My buddy knows all about it and he says the gov'ment is trying to make us use more gasoline by buying hybrid import cars. There by they put that stuff in there. So if you stuff a potato in the tube thingy for the emissions stuff you get like 70 more HP. Then you just jump the blue wire to the battery and bypass the ecu and it will turn the light off.
If that don't work my other buddy has this tuner scion. Its like 1000 HP and does a quarter mile in like 6 seconds but he doesn't go to the track cuz he's and outlaw racer. He says you should ad a neon light to the bottom and about 250 lbs of stereo equipment then add a Nos sticker to it. That's how he beats a those V8 mustang Shelby's. They come with 700 HP but they have a solid rear axle and rear wheel drive so they are really slow.

Actually beets work better than potatoes. Especially if you pickle them first. That adds 90 hp.
