Cel?

Yesterday i was driving home from school, about 35 minutes away, just cruising at like 75, check engine light comes on, flashes for a second or two, then goes solid. I pull of to the side of the interstate, start checking things out, coolant temp :183..normal, oil is good because i just changed it a week ago. So im thinking about what it could be...exhaust maybe?
The thing that worries me is i flashed for a couple seconds, which means misfire or engine malfunction.

Any ideas?

Do you have any mods? It could be your mass air flow sensor.

It is good to invest in an interceptor for this reason.

002.Failed H02S (heated oxy sensor)
003. Ignition problem
004. Fuel injection problem
or engine mechanical problem.

Hoping its just the O2 sensor
