I inherited an Eagle Talon. The engine light has come on and I don't find anything about it in the manual. I felt there might be something simple I could check which would be causing that?
Thanks for any help

This is the wrong place to ask this question.

But, I am in a good mood.
Consult a service manual (Hayes etc) and run a analogue multimeter into the computer port and read the trouble code(s).

WHAT YEAR IS YOUR TALON?  I HAVE A 95, MY LIGHT CAME ON, IN THE MANUAL FOUND NOTHING..DID YOU RUN A CODE?  LOOK IN EMMISSIONS PART OF THE BOOK TO FIND OUT HOW..MY PROBLEM WAS A RECALL ON THE FEUL REGUALTOR AND PCM..IF YOU HAVE A SECONDARY AIR INJECTION SYSTEM, THIS COULD BE YOUR PROBLEM.  IF THIS IS THE CASE, TAKE IT TO A MISTIBUSHI OR CHRYSLER DEALER.  ITLL BE FIXED FOR FREE..BUT YOUR LIGHT MAY STILL STAY ON.  THEY REPLACED MY FUEL REGULATOR AND THE COMPUTER.  STILL MY  LIGHT IS ON, BUT NOTHING IS WRONG?  CHECK THAT OUT THOUGH

Don't get it. Most talon's that old have problems with the valve guides and burn oil like crazy!! I bet you anything the oil lead on from the valve cover too....

If your Check Engine light comes on but there seems to be nothing out of wack, most times it is the ECU. These cars are famous for leaking capacitors on the board causing damage to the circuits. Thus eventually causing bad emissions eratic idling, poor fuel consumption and so on

I have owned an 1g Eagle Talon TSI AWD for years. I have invested four times its value into it. As much fun as the car is to drive
it is a huge headache, these cars will never stay running properly. If you don't own one, don't buy one. If you do own one sell it fast. Unless of course you are willing to spend over $500 a month in maintenance, in which case happy motoring. Man are these things fun to drive!
