Default poorly engine?

anyone know what the problem is with my car?

intermittently at high speeds i.e 90mph+ the engine lights start to flash. if i ease of the accelerator and drop it to 70mph ish, the light goes off after driving like this for a few minutes i can go 90+ again without the light.

any ideas? sounds like overheating to me, but its just had a service.

always worth checking the Oil. M8 of mine had his CTR serviced and they never filled it up to the Max, within 2 weeks his VTEC had stopped cuttin in and was well low on Oil!

It has been reported on here and also the NASIOC that the MY01/02 cars suffer with an intermittent fault that is cause by the Neutral Position Switch.

I know a lot of bugeye owners (including myself) that have had this (or similar) problems.

Try doing a search and see if it pulls up any similar threads
