what the heck

[catliektheif]

I only got 11k miles on her and ive noticed recently my CEL comes on for a split second while im accelerating -- almost so fast i think im imagining it. what could be the problem? has anyone heard of this or am i really just imagining things... :iono:

[Betrivent]

I've never heard of that.. have you modded the car in any way?

misfire

go get an OBD reader and look at the stored code. misfires blink when a misfire is detected. you are looking for a P0300,301,302 or 303 code for misfire.

It's under warranty still, isn't it? Take it to the dealer.

all i've done is put in MI springs.. could it have to do with the fact that i need an alignment?

[NZ-FE Vios]

Did you not take advantage of the one free alignment from Toyota?

[eTiMaGo]

could be due to really crappy fuel too...

lol i bet you its not cel its probably your windshield washer fluid being low.. i had the same post at one point yellow light comes on during acceleration but ended up as the low washer fluid level light that comes on

Not everyone is as "intelligent" as you when it comes to cars

oh yeah I forgot...thanks for reminding me

what was I thinkin ?

I gave accurate and timely troubleshooting information, for troubleshooting step 1, and still get dogged

[TRDMarty]

Never heard of that

[A-Dingo-Ate-My-Baby]

assuming everything on car is correct - it's the MIL and likely a misfire
assuming misinterpretation: low brake fluid or low washer fluid + inertia vs sensor

I know the first time I saw my Maintenance Required light come on, I freaked. I was so used to seeing the CEL light come on on my old Cavalier, I have now become paranoid when any light comes on.
