Default why is it....................

why is it when i drive my car and i get on it the check engine light comes on between 3-5 grand?


usually only happens in second gear or higher?

ok so it happens right. i get the cel then i shut it off and turn it back on its gone?
then i make it come on again so i can check the code but there is no code when i check it?

are u supposed to chek the codes when the car is running or when the key is in the on position?

i tried both and either of them worked?

Do you have a knock sensor?

When my knock sensor was busted...

I would turn on the car to drive it and the instant I revved over 5000 rpm, the CEL would come on.

no....why would it? it senses knock and retards timing if you're knocking, thus saving your engine. you really should wire that up, especially if you are prone to running your car hard, boosting, or generally being a dumbass which...from that lovely shroom avatar and your other posts...I would assume to be the case.

drugs are bad. drugs are not cool. drugs + driving = geigh
