K8 issue maybe?

Post by kast2L »

Alright so when im cruising at like 65-70, after a while my check engine light would come on and its strange to me because it doesn't stay on. Once I get where im going and cut it off it goes away. I feel like ever since I had midas do a oil change it has come up but then again I don't want to go to them and be like "wtf" until i get word from you guys that still have or had k8s. Now when I do city driving, no issues, no check engine light, nothing. Thanks in advance guys.

If you had taken a second to read to the second paragraph...


Intermittent Failures
Intermittent failures may cause CHECK ENGINE light to flicker or illuminate and go out after the intermittent fault goes away. However, the corresponding trouble code will be retained in ECU memory. If related fault does not reoccur within a certain time frame, related trouble code will be erased from ECU memory. Intermittent failures may be caused by a sensor, connector or wiring related problems.
