Check engine light comes on at high RPM only

The light stays off under normal driving , but if i step on it/floor it and the rpms get to about 5000 or above the check engine light comes on.
But if I turn the car off and turn it back on, the light turns off, it only happens if I bring the rpms to about 5k or higher.
I have not noticed any overheating or misfiring or anything goes all the way to 6500rpm real smooth
Has any one else ever experienced this?? Or any one know if this is serious? Id really appreciate any help.

I found out that the check engine light has code "20" it means "Metering oil pump position sensor" that doesnt sound too good but is it the oil pump thats bad or the sensor?

It could be the sensor or the oil metering pump. I had the same code before and had to replace the oil metering pump.
