I'm trying to figure why my Engine Light keeps coming on. I've heard that
you can find that out by turning the key on and off a couple times. Is this
correct and, if so, how do I do it?

You need an ODB II code reader to check the codes and reset the Check
Engine Light. You can get the Actron PocketScan for as little as $65
shipped online.

Pep Boys sells them for $79.99, plus a $10 rebate.

Some parts/service stores will scan the codes for you free, if you don't
want to buy a scanner.

If you've got a 1995 Accent, an OBD II code reader won't work. Other than
that, OBD II should work fine.
