Cross my fingers, but I have to say that I doubt you will get stranded because of an engine light.....I agree w/ Gameson.

My lotus CEL experience entails: 2x - limp home modes (stuck WOT), and about 3 weeks of on/off missing (water around the plug?)

Unless it is clearly not running right (stumbling/lack of power etc.) You can always ignore the problem.....it might just fix itself, or finally cause the real item/cause to show itself. My experience says most car engines are quite robust/fault tolerant. This is a Toyota engine.....
