I just purchased an 04 Coupe CC. The car has been at the dealer for some time and has been driven very little over the past two years. I took it out to some back roads in rural Virginia this weekend and let it run. It's an amazing car.
One hitch though. After driving for an hour or two, the engine warning light came on. All the gauges (oil pressure, engine temp, etc.) look good and the car is running beautifully. It has only 7,000 miles on it, so it doen't seem likely that there is a major problem. I'm hoping that driving the car for a sustained period for the first time in a long time tripped a fault and there is nothing bigger going on.
I know I need to bring the car back to the dealer and get it checked out, but can't get out there until next week so thought I'd ask the forum. Has anyone had a similar engine warning light experience with a Maserati that has been rarely driven for a prolonged period?
I'd like to know whether this warning light means I should not drive it until I can get it out to the dealer or if I can ignore it for the time being.
Thanks, as always, for your insight.
