    Teka.. it's normal for the check engine indicator to illuminate when you turn the ignition to the ON position, you can start it anytime then. You don't have to wait for it to turn itself off ( if it ever does ), before starting. The MIL should disappear once the engine is running but if it stays on, something is wrong somewhere or if it doesn't illuminate at all on the KOEO position.

    No sir, in my car's case you need to wait for the CEL to out light before starting the engine. usually or normally it take only 5secs when ignition is on. then start pero now ang tagal na. so im thinkin na baka porblema sa oto ko..

matagal mawala yung engine check light when you about to start your car?
