Control indicator light? Which one?

Do you mean the one that looks like a spanner? Or the one that looks like an engine?

Do the car start first time?

You need the codes read. What area of B'ham are you in?

It may disapear after a number of good starts.

Still need to get the codes read, bit far for me, I live North B'ham, SC side.

Could be, but I'm guessing early start of cam sensor failure.

You need the codes read!

As said, could be an early sign of cam sensor failure.

If you want to meet me there, I can read the codes for you.
