My check engine light is on but there are no actual motor problems. When I start it and it idles it can stall sometimes but I figured that's because it's an older truck. Do these lights come on after certain mileages or could it possibly be a fuel pump issue? I read something about weird idling and the fuel pump on another thread.

Most vehicles are equipped with a Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) or check engine light. If light comes on and remains on while driving, the vehicle requires some type of repair. See appropriate service and repair information. After repairing fault(s) and clearing fault code(s), the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) or check engine light should go out. Some models may use a dual-function indicator light, which is also used to indicate emission component service is due. After performing required service, reset indicator light.
