CEL Issue
Monday, August 25, 2008 12:49 AM
This is on a 98 Z24. The check engine light has been coming on, but during driving it will go off in the evening when its cooler out. Everytime I take it to get scanned to pull the code it always shuts off since the only time I have is in the evening. Has anyone had this issue? Any ideas on what might be throwing the code?

This only started happening after I did a Fuel System Cleaner (Gum Out)

Thanks,
Trevor

The code is still stored in the history, regardless of the light being on or not.

i had a problem very similar to that with my 04, except in my case it was the yellow service light that was coming on it would come on as soon as i would shut the car off the light was gone as if the computer reset itself or something. Awhile later it came back on again same thing as soon as i shut the car if i started it right up again the light was gone haven't seen the light come on since. But i bet there's still a code in there somewhere or the light would never have come on at all, thing i wonder is if there was a code it was throwing why they didn't catch it when they changed my oil etc. Unless techs aren't gonna look for that kinda stuff unless you specifically mention it.

Might have done something to your O2

But like Ron said the code is stored
