Default Can't figure out why check engine lights keeps coming on

I just turboed my 95 ls integra and everytime i hit 4500 RPM's my check engine light comes on and the only way to get it off is to turn the car off than on again. When the engine light is on it messes up my idle and i cant figure out why its coming on. Any info back would be great. Thanks.

What is your setup? Give details about the fuel system especially.

why not just jump the service connector and see what code it is, then reference it in a manual. then you can troubleshoot whatever it is and fix it.

You answered your own question!!

If you dont have missing link do you have check valves? Looks like you are getting map sensor CEL.

I'm assuming you are on stock ecu

Yeah totally there is your answer, and yeah check valves work for an emergency type situation, but get the proper missing link.
it'll save you heart ache in the future

just pulling the bulb doesnt solve any problems, except for maybe that orange glare when driving at night.
