Default I Dont Know Why My Check Engine Light Keeps Coming Up

I Have A B16A motor. Every once i a while when i drive my check engine light comes on. The times that it goes on is when im ballin' or when im driving slow about 40 with it on 5th gear. I asked around and found out that B16 doesnt have an EGR valve.
I need Help Bad, its irratating me. PLEASE HELP!.

Does it flash a few times, then go off? Or come on while your driving and stays on until the next time you shut down/start your car?

Pull your carpeting down on the passenger side under the glovbox up against the wall. Look what its flashing and go online and just look it up. Easiest way I can think of.

What does an EGR valve have to do with your check engine light coming on? No code = no help.

that is because you are resetting the ecu, while the CEL is on, pull the code... and then look it up in the list at the top of this forum. If you don't know how to pull the code, check the link at the top of the forum.
