If the CEL comes on again...will it flash a code?
I ran the car today. CEL light came on when I cranked it, so I pumped the accelerator until it started. Thereafter, it went dead at each stop. When I drove into the driveway....the CEL was off. I don't know how long it had been off.

When the CEL is on, the engine is operating in "limp" mode and will not be working very well. Reset the ECU by removing the 7.5 A radio fuse. Then read the code if the CEL comes on again.
