What will happen if I say "FO" to CEL light ?
Nissan Maxima 97 GXE AT 167K miles
Light came on 4 days before...til now
Should I ignore it ?? "everything is OK in car"
Don't want to go throught the hassle of ECU and thingies...Afraid from messing something there maybe
Thanks

Really ???? You have to ask this? 
Tell ya what, it's obvious you don't care about your car, so let it go. Maybe it'll leave you stranded someplace and then you'll look into fixing it.

Mine is always on but the code gives the 02 sensor (of course). Its not worth the trouble now, plus it doesn't seem to affect anything. I'm getting 25+ mpg

the light will bust thru the plastic cover and punch you in the nose 
like others said, get it checked and you can check it via the stickies or take it to autozone for a free diagnostic check

Haha I probably would ask the same thing, but I came here to learn from mechanics and so. Now that I am a enlightened man, I will ask only moderately dumb questions.
But still.... silly question as that was we need to enlighten the dude and tell him to NEVER not check whats wrong when the CHECK ENGINE light comes ON
