Don't die on me :'(

[SHO M0nk3y]

My engine is leaking oil which I have already talked about and I am getting it fixed. But today (Sept. 16) I was just coming home and I was just driving along at about 90 km/h and the check engine light came on and I figured theres no smoke or any wierd sounds so I'll check it when I get home, I wasn't far, only about 15 minutes away. About 10 minutes later the light went out, once I got home I left it running, lifted the hoad and I didn't hear or see anything wrong, any idea what caused this??

Could be EGR port's clogged. But if you pull stored computer codes you will know for sure what triggered the check engine light. Follow the procedure on shotimes.com or http://www.dalidesign.com/hbook/eectest.html

then after you have the codes get back to us here if you still need some help.

Dont worry to much, it is most likely youe O2 sensors. but check your codes!

Get the codes.

With no driveablity concerns, it's probably either EGR or O2 sensors.

Remember, the Check Engine Light (CEL or MIL) is not a reason to panic. See your owner's manual....

If the engine is still running okay, it is normally just something in the emissions control system that needs attention. OTOH, if the CEL comes on and the engine quits, hesitates, surges, or otherwise acts up, you'd be warned to get it checked ASAP.
