Default Check engine light, please help!

Well, my check engine light comes on periodically, and i cant figure out the problem.
It doesnt come on right away, and it takes a little while. Takes about 5 minutes then it finally comes on.

I cant figure out anywhere to check the codes so, if anyone has any usefull info, Please help, or let me know past experiences that would be of any help.

This man is correct, the ecu will hold up to 5 codes at a time if a 6th occurs, it will erase the first code.

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by JDMallmotaEG &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">well if you have an EG (not sure about EK's), you should have a harness under your glove box. there should be 2. i forgot what color wires it is but i know for sure its the one with a small clip. what i do is, i get a paper clip or a small piece of wire and hot wire it. then, check out your gauge cluster for how many times it blinks. long blink counts as 10 and short blink is 1. remember that number and check out the code. let us know what happend. thanx

Correct, the link posted above describes this process and how to check for codes.
