My aunt's '92 Buick Regal Custom with the 3.8/3800 series I has the MIL on
for the same reason. It came on when I floored it to merge back onto the
interstate while coming back to Iowa from Oklahoma and has been on ever
since. Strangely enough the car seems to run better now than it did before
as before it would chug and sputter for the first ~30 seconds after being
started and now it starts right up and idles smoothly.
