check engine light
some times my check engine light will come on for a second or two then turn off. its randomly happened whilst driving, anything from idle to WOT...
is it a dirty MAF, or could it simply be that I dont have cats and the 02 sensors are going off? (still have the rest of the smog stuff

RE: check engine light
The "intermittent on" means the computer has found some issues, stored some codes, and the codes should be pulled at the earliest possible convenience
The issues can be compensated for by the computer, or are possibly intermittent, but re-occurring, and won't affect drivability...for now
As opposed the a constant CEL which means you've got a serious issue which should be addressed immediately
Pull the codes and find out what's up:

... either way it's a good idea to have codes pulled and repaired at an oportune moment so they don't add up to numerous issues

RE: check engine light
I'm not 100% worried about it, as it came on 3 times in the period of about a week.... it would flash for a second then go off... then be off for the rest of the trip, but then again, with the electrical problems I have with her, it could be due to that...
I dunno...
but she is at the shop now...hopefully getting fixed... so now I am bumming rides

how do I pull codes, do I need a tuner or something?
