I wouldn't just pull the bulb because when the light is on, your engine is running in its limp-home mode with the timing retarded, which may after a long time, damage your valves or at least wreak havoc with your gas mileage, not to mention depriving you of the full experience of this wonderful engine.
The book says the light may come on unnecessarily under prolonged engine braking or hard acceleration, or if the engine does not warm up within ten minutes or so. If you have no heat and the temp. gauge does not read warm enough, change the thermostat. If you use the engine to slow yourself from 60 miles an hour repeatedly, you need to work on your brakes. If you can't keep your foot off the floor, you need a turbo.
Enjoy.
