Check engine light

Hi all, I recently purhcased a 90 rx7 convert a week ago. I have a quick question about something it started to do lately. When I am driving along doesn't seem to matter speed or rpm every once in a while the check engine light comes on. When this happens the car loses power and you have to ease the gas pedal to keep it moving. If your heavy on the pedal it just wants to die. The temporary fix I found was to shut the car off and than back on. It seems to reset something and the car runs great until the check engine light comes back on. Any help with this would be great!!

Thanks see you out on the road...

You will need to check the engine computer (ECU) error codes and see what is wrong, and what is putting the car in Limp mode.
