Default check engine light

ive got a problem ,when driving for about 20 mins the check engine light comes on and the car seems to hold back a little, but then the light keeps going on and off. if i stop the car for 15 mins to cool the lights off again and all ok for 20 mins ,someone said the o2 sensor ?

Read the ECU by connecting the black connectors under the steering column

Come back with the codes.

It could be the o2/Lambda sensor.
