    Engine light on a 99 nissan Altima gxe
    I have a 99 Nissan Altima; I recently washed the engine because it was leaking oil from the gasket that covers the head by the spark plugs. I changed the gasket, the plugs; dry the entire engine including the distib. Cap, and now I have the engine light that reads
    ENGINE SERVICE SOON. What might be the problem?
