Hey,

I've had the car for 10k miles now, and the SES light has only come on twice. Once when I first got the car, it was bone stock with a flowmaster muffler. I was driving around a curve on the onramp, and I felt the car miss and saw the SES light on. No more than a second later, literally, it was off. And never came back on again, so I didn't think too much of it. A week ago I was coming home one morning from school, and the car had sat overnight. It was somewhat cold (40s), and when I started it up I let it warm up a bit. I drove out of the parking lot, and the same thing happened. Bucked once and the SES light came on. I pulled over, let it idle for about 10 minutes, drove away, nothing else. At this point I have what's in my sig and just put a racetronix pump in and a new AC delco filter today. Is this a warning sign of my opti? When the car starts sometimes, the idle will *slowly* climb to about 1300, hold there for a second or two, then crawl back down before settling at 700. I believe it's the original. Thanks for the help.

Easiest way to find out what the problem is would be to scan it for codes. Once the light goes on, the code stays stored for a while, even though the light has gone off.

 

Will do, thanks.
