Car is trying to send me over the edge.!!
Ok, I had the manifold of yesterday changing the fuel pipes on the wifes bug (AGAIN!!). The car ran fine all day after b ut last night whilst nipping out to the shop the Engine management light came on even though the car was still running fine, first thought was "Oh sh@t what the f*@k have I done now!!" So i started the car this morning and the light was still on. Turned it of again and went to get ready to take it to a buddy with an obd reader, Got back in the car and the light has gone of?? Drives fine and appears to have fixed what ever the problem was itself in the space of an hour!!! 
I swear this car is trying to turn me into a paranoid mess!! every bump or slight noise and straight away I am thinking "what the *&^% is that?"
Is my car the only one who seems to be related to "christine" or does anyone else have the same paranoia problems as me?

I had the cel light coming on and going off nearly every time i used the car.
Cleaned the air filter (induction kit) and seems to have cured it!! No cel light for about a month now!
