Check engine light.

Post by Redneck Wolf »

It's random it seems how it does this, but I used to have a problem with it coming on when the car was cold, and going off when it was at normal temp. Now, it's off until it warms up, then comes on. It is affecting acceleration. However, about an hour on the freeway at 75, it turns off again, and everything seems fairly normal. What could it be?

Get the CEL. Just a WAG, but maybe the knock sensor.

knock is a great start but seems more coolant sensor but why not just see what the comp. says if you can count the flashes fast enough i had to do it a few time to get the correct #'s
