A yellow check engine light on your vehicle's dashboard signifies that the car's computer has detected an issue within the vehicle's engine or emission system. This could be because of various reasons such as a malfunctioning sensor, a misfiring engine, a leak in the emission system, or other similar problems. It's usually advised to get your car checked by a professional when you see this light. However, it's not typically an immediate emergency, unlike the red check engine light.

1. Purchase the appropriate engine oil from the shop. 2. Once the oil is purchased, open the hood of the car. 3. Locate the oil cap on the engine. It usually has an oil can symbol or the word "OIL" on it. 4. Click on the oil cap to remove it. The oil cap usually resides on top of the engine, 5. You will see an option that prompts you to put oil into the engine, click on it and fill the engine to the appropriate level. 6. It is important to check the oil level after you have filled it. Use the dipstick located near the oil cap area to determine the oil level. The oil should fall between the two marks on the dipstick. 7. Once the oil level is correct, replace the oil cap on top of the engine and close the hood of the car. Remember, each car model may have a slightly different engine layout so the oil cap may not be in the exactly same place for each car. Be sure to familiarize yourself with the specific car model you are working on in the game.

Setting the timing on an engine without it running involves manually aligning mechanical components to the correct positions. First, find the engine's top dead center (TDC) on cylinder number 1 - the point in the piston's cycle where it is closest to the spark plug. Rotate the engine manually, usually with a wrench on the crankshaft pulley bolt, until the timing mark on the pulley aligns with the corresponding mark on the engine block, indicating TDC. If your engine has a timing indicator, use it for precision. Next, consult your engine's repair manual for the correct timing specifications. Timing is often set slightly before TDC (advanced) for optimal performance. The distributor cap (for engines with distributors) should be removed, and the rotor inside should point to the position for the number 1 spark plug wire. If it doesn't, you may need to adjust the position of the distributor itself. For engines with electronic ignition systems (no distributor), timing is generally set through an ECU (Engine Control Unit) and requires specific tools like a timing light for adjustment when the engine is running. However, ensuring mechanical alignment as described is a critical first step. Remember, precise timing is crucial for engine performance and fuel efficiency. Consulting the vehicle's service manual and using proper tools will greatly assist in this task. If unsure, it's advisable to seek professional assistance to avoid potential engine damage.
