usually when you check engine light comes on, its best to ask your car whats wrong... not us!!

bring your car to a part store and have them scan your computer for codes

Maybe the o2 sensors are going bad?............It might not read the codes if the check engine light dosen't stay on long enough good luck!

Dude even if the light flicked it is still throwin codes. Also, not every code will cause a light. Get it scanned and see whats up. I hope you get this before Adder gets nasty [:@]
