Default check engine light

ok so heres the run down on my issue with the check engine light,
I have had my check engine light come on and stay on when I do a 3rd gear pull on the highway, it seems to be when vtec kicks in around 6000 rpms it comes on and stays on until I cut the engine off then crank it back up and no check engine light. I cant tell a change in the running of the engine it doesn't loose power or run rough. and also it doesn't happen every time it seems on random nights it does this, it doesn't do it if I start in 1st and rev out every gear past 8k just when I do a 3rd gear pull at 60mph i haven't been able to read any codes bc it doesn't stay on after u cut the car off and back on. everytime the light comes on i immediately switch back to 5th gear to resume 70-80 mph like aint **** happen. im not a moron that revs his car to 8500 rpm with a check engine light on

any theories would be appreciated or if anyone has had this happen to them, car has been running perfect for 7500+ miles since built in July, built bottom end b18b w/b16 head skunk 2 intake and TB

Next time the code pops up while driving, without turning the car off, safely pull over and pull the code. Again, without turning the car off.

Report back here what the code is.
