bloody CEL
Guys,
I need your help because this is driving me round the bend.
My problem is that doing about 3800 rpm in 5th gear going up a hill, I have a knocklink gauge reading 1 light flashing on and off otherwise everything seems fine until the CEL comes on and of course I pull over turn the engine off and leave for 5 mins, start it up again and all is clear.
I thought it might be running rich but the knocklink should read more knocking but barely moves from the first light, if you have any suggestions please tell me.
Cheers in advance.

Er, do a test then?!
Could be absolutely anything. Engine off, connect the 2 black plugs under the dash, ignition on. Code will flash at you. Long flashes = 10's short ones = 1's
So 3 long and 2 short would be 32.
Post up the code.
