Check engine light comes on for a second or two
Hmm I thought that the light was there to warn you about error codes about the ECU?
My dad was driving the car on the freeway at about 80, and he told me that if he would punch it, the check engine light would come on. When he let go of the throttle the light turned off.
Why would that happen? Strange!
thanks!

Check your oil 
High-revving 'Check Engine' light often means that there is not enough oil for the oil pump to built up pressure...especially during turns. Check oil quickly....

My oil was full and so was my coolant. I'll go check the codes right now. Thanks!
I got code 17 which is for the O2 sensor. Do I need to replace it?
