A great many things. Have the codes read and find out what the specific problem is. There are a number of code readers available through parts stores if you want one of your own. They are expensive so if you don't do this alot hire it done by a local shop or the dealer. There is no other way to find out where to start.

The engine light is on i think a year and a half now, engine runs fine turn the key and it starts.
No blue smoke out of the exaust accelerate's fine.
I read that this type of engine has a lot of vacuum hoses, my first thougt is that one of these hoses has disconnected from his original place.
Couldt some one tell me where these hoses are placed.

Is it possible to read out the engine like the models of to day (by computer).

I saw LD5 shows a computer. Do you have a data link connector along lower edge of dash?

I don't know much about rims. All I can do is search the web, like you.
