Default check engine light....

please can someone shed some light on problem i have with my scooby,

she is a 98 2000turbo, uk model, and over the last week or so my 'check engine' light keeps turning on now and then, its doesnt really stay light up for long, maybe 30 secs to 2 mins then goes off again and will then come back on a while after or maybe a day so later.

not sure why, except being scared obviously, check all my fluids and they all seem ok but can someone explain more if possible....

I may be wrong but I had this issue on my evo 2 and it was the maf sensor, may be worth a wiggle to make sure its on tight or a clean up?!

you need to sort a diagnostic check and work from there, no good just trying to guess.........most likely something very straight forward

Yep as Alyn says.

Your working in the dark without knowing what the error code is.

Look in the help pages on my website, it explains how to read the error codes.
