At the bottom of the fender, at the door there is one bolt, like wise at the front of the fender. Now, open the hood, remove all the bolts on the top of the fender. I can't remember if there is a bolt behind the headlight or not.

check engine light means exactly what you think it means. Have it scanned.

I removed my fender a few months ago to pop out my size 14 shoe dent from when I had it towed. I'd recommend bagging and tagging as you go, because you will, with all seriousness, take out like 30-40 bolts. you'll have to remove a bracket bolt that connects to the frame or front bumper, i forget, have to take off the rocker panel guards, and remove bolts securing stuff under the hood. Oh yeah, and the fonder liner, that was fun.
