Just to clarify, if it comes on other than at idle rpm, stop the engine immediately or it will stop itself by seizing! If it comes on at idle, it's usually a sign the engine is somewhat worn, but not necessarily that it's about to fail provided the light goes out when the revs increase. It might also mean the switch is too sensitive, but that's not very common. Dave.
