Re: Check Engine?

["Mike" <JoMi@email.msn.com>]

I have seen this with mine . I would usually see it if I ran to redline in
2nd and 3rd and just as I lifted off the throttle the check engine light
would come on for a couple seconds. I was told that the O2 sensor just
cannot keep up with the velocity of the exhaust flow so it presents a
momentary alarm.
