It could be worth running the likes of STP injector cleaner to ensure your injectors are running at their best. Shortish runs give the fluid time to work wjhem the injectors are warm. I used this with great effect on a Renault 19 16v I owned previously, it gave a nice mpg increase aswell.

On Simtek the CEL is a det warning light and shift light.Det warning will normally be 4 or more flashes in quick succession.Shift light is constant above shift set point.Are you just getting one single flash? If so this could be that the in gear shift light needs setting.If more than 1 flash then best get in touch with your mapper to check for det with det cans without delay!
