Default Help!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey guys I just bought a 96 6-speedz28. It's a fun car with a convertible. There's only one problem, the engine light turns on when I go on the freeway. The light stays on the whole day. The next day the engine light turns off. I don't know what to do. When the light turns on i don't want to floor it because i'm worried something might go bad. The engine sounds fine, i don't know if it's the sensor that's messed up. Any suggestions.

Go get it scanned for free at an autozone. That's step one.

Hey i just took my car to autozone and they scanned it but no codes showed up they told me that i might need a tune up because when the engine light turns on it starts to blink and then stays on it might be that but i need another opinion.

hey man did you go get it checked why the check engine light was on? If so than some kind of code should have came up. just make sure you get it checked when that light comes on.

Duh. Blinking check engine light indicates a misfire. A tune up would be a good idea sounds like. If you do it yourself, it would be cheap.
