Default check engine light comes on while cruising on the street.!! HELP!

i have a 94 gsr with a sohc in it its obd1 and every once and a while when i am on the highway at a constant speed for a little bit the check engine light comes on. I can still drive and it doesnt drive any different. So i just turn the car off then right back on and it doesnt come on again till it sits over night.

Any ideas on what i could check??

Thanks

could possibly be a sensor in the distributor.

i used to have that problem. IT never affected performance and it always started.Just sometimes it would come on and stay on till i shut the car off then its gone. But the only way to really fix it i heard is gettin a new dizzy.

not sayin thats your problem but it could be

My wild guess is CPS, because it happened to me...

Search for topics created by me if you want to know how to fix it pretty easily for free, but make sure it is code 54 first.

Sounds like O2 sensor. It takes a bit for it to warm up, that is when you get a check engine light.

Have you tried checking for a code?

I never get it when people ask for diagnosis, when the CEL GIVES it to you! Check the CEL and get the code!
