Default Dear Deadrie!!

Good day all, i was on my way up the M1 the other morning it was around 4am and i was doing a steady 70mph, give or take 30mph, but in no way pushing hard, and on popped my check engine light, so i slowed a little waiting for a catastrophic boom, but insted the warning light went off. And all seems fine, the car is now parked at EM airport, where it will be for the next 2 weeks.
The problem is i want to enjoy my holiday, but i cant stop thinking about my baby being in pain, she must be hurting inside!
So is it that the check engine light can come on if i push her a little to hard, i dont know maybe the air flow meter or something.
Or is it my Impreza is slightly physic and knows im leaving her for a few weeks.
Any advice!!

Happened with mine once.Done under warranty,something to do with sensor in the exhaust.About £130 for the sensor I think .Trouble is,it was stuck into exhaust downpipe which had to be replaced as well,at several hundred quid.Was I glad I took out the extended warranty.
You may get away with just sensor hopefully.

Is it wise to advertise where your car will be left unattended for 2 weeks?
