HELP: check engine light came on!
could be something as dumb as just the light got a glitch and went on, I would get it checked out just in case. You could drive it fine for a while, but later find out that you've been ruining the engine. not worth it, spend some money and get it looked at. The nos could have messed something up, if you use it too much your engine will start to go to hell, this could be the start of something really bad.

Please if u know how to read the computer in our cars HELP ME!!!
I'll bet my money that the problem is a two way valve in your fuel system. Happened to me and a lot of others, I had to wait about 2 months for the part because it was back ordered so bad. Just take it in though and get them to hook up the comp.

Check vac. hoses around the intake...had my ck engine come on a couple weeks ago because the intake heat helped wear a tiny hole in the hose that runs underneath it. I cut a longer piece of silicon hose to replace it with to avoid that stupid kind of prob. in the future.

i would drive it for a few cycles and see if it turns off. My civic tends to do this if kept at high rpms (close to redline) for extended periods. This is more common on my car because of the higher revving nature of the cvt tranny but im sure with your equipment you experience this as well. also, i have heard from a few people with aftermarket intakes that their light comes on and goes off occasionally. Keep in mind that the light monitors not only engine problems but mostly emmissions control problems (intake,exhaust,cat,fuel/air ratio)
hope this helps!
