Default Engine fault light
My 1997 XK8 has an intermittent orange engine fault light that appears when there is zero pressure on the throttle. My first thought was dirty injectors so I added sea foam. There has been some improvement but the issue persists. The car has 70,000 miles. Is this situation indicative of anything more than an annoyance?
Thanks

There will be stored fault code(s)- autozone or advance auto will read the codes for you- then post them here for advice
