Sometimes I go to start the Cherokee and it will run rough until I go into gear and start driving. Well, about a mile after this happened tonight a yellow light came on (to the right of the push button for tripometer). Is this the CEL or the oil light? No owners manual.

Sorry no pic of the light on. But if you look at the tripometer button its immediately to the right of it.

This one is where the Check Gauges would be on yours, but same color as the CHECK ENGINE on yours.
