It won't be an air lock. The ECU has logged a fault, probably a sensor plug you may have knocked. Have a look around where you were working and check all electrical plugs. Failing that just go see someone with a scanner and they will be able to tell you exactly what it is.

The light is actually a "homosexual driver warning" light.
If the light went out its prob cause the bulb blew...

Either that or the air flow meter problem is what triggered the warning light.

You dont need a scanner for 93 model cruisers. Just short out the terminals in the diagnostic port, i forget which 2 right now but i have it all at home if you need it.

cross the te1 and e1 terminals in diegnosis plug on firewall and then turn on ignition and the check engine lite will flash a code if there is any

if this is the case,, the light was only ever on when my brother drove the car, lucky its not a standard option on suzuki's otherwise the light would be a permanent distraction for you.
