I shut off the car and started it but it stayed on. its VERY weird too because I have a scanguage II and it logs codes, but it said there wasnt one... I kept trying to read a code but it said no codes found.. but the check engine light was on. HOW could the light be on but no code?? I ended up pulling the battery terminals off and waiting 10 minutes and then the light went off... very weird! if it had thrown a code I should have been able to read it. the light hasnt come back on.

anyone else see the flashing check engine light? it happened to me the first time when the car was bone stock, just flashed when I was racing my brother and stayed at 6k for 3 seconds. now I have 1/2 of my airbox removed, but I dont see how that would affect it since it did it even before I removed the box.

no, it didn't and it won't happen to me-----the highest rpm i revved my yaris up to was 3200 and i'm not planning on going anywhere over that figure......if you need a performance car, why not get yourself A FERRARI...............
