RE: service engine
You most likely will have to fix the fault that caused the light to come on in the first place. Have someone pull the code for you and procede from there.

RE: service engine
You can reset the computer by taking power from it. I do it in my 96 after I fix it. If you have not found out why the light is on take it to Auto-Zone or Advance Auto Parts. They will check it for free. And they can reset it, but if you have not fixed whatever set it it will come back on. If you disconnect the battery or pull the fuse/fuses for the computer (you won't lose radio presets) leave it off for about 5 min. It only has to be 1 or 2 but if you leave it off a little longer will know it is reset.
On 95 and older they reset when you fix the problem and the light will go off, thus they do not need to be reset.

RE: service engine
If you pull the light bulb you don't fix anything, and can end up spending more money to fix futher problems caused by the first one. If you have not fixed what set it off, get it checked fix it then get it reset.
