Well today I checked my fuses. Two were burnt. The ECM fuse, and the choke fuse.. I replaced em and bam no warning lights. Thankgod!...But as usual the choke light came back on when I revved the engine into 3rd gear. And the fuse burnt...Any idea???
Im just glad my cars starting and running alot better. Maybe with the carb valve fully opended now Ill get better mileage..Anyone know?

whenevr you rev your engine, it makes the alternator belt go faster which if your alt is bad/going south, will create to much volts and to make a long story short, the choke light is actually linked to your alternator and usually when the choke light comes on, it means your alt is bad.

check your wiring for shorts, but i'd replace your alternatro if it bothers you
