Ignore the light, it's just saying you've travelled 30,000 miles
(think that's right for an '84) since somebody pushed the reset
button by the left front wheel.

Suggest try unplugging the oxygen sensor.  If the engine is ok it
will run perfectly well without it except for higher emissions.  If
the engine runs better without the sensor that's a good clue.

Yrs,
