Electrical problem
1997 Dodge Neon Two Wheel Drive Automatic 151000 miles

I bought a used car a few weeks ago, and last week the "Service Engine Soon" light came on and has not went off since. I do turn the engine off and on frequently, and wonder if this is related. Also, had a new battery installed and put in oil lately but wasn't sure if it was the same type of oil. Can you tell me what could be wrong with it?

Have the computer scanned for code/s-you have a problem within the engine management system that caused the CEL to turn on-This is your starting point of diagnosis,finding out what's going on.
