there could be other things going on with the engine....our cars are funny that way. Go to Autozone or some place that can do a free check via the ECU and they will tell you the codes. Then get either a Haynes or Chilton Repair manual and look up the codes there and Bam....you'll know why the light is on.

Since your car is a 96, do the key dance. Here, if the CEL really bothers you that much, then just reset the ECU. If it makes you feel better, my CEL represents like 5-7 different codes lol.
