Saturday night i was driving to a friends house at 75mph on the highway and suddenly i see a little orange light on my dash... the "check engine" light blinked at me really quick. so i hit the brake to turn off the cruise and slowed to 65 and drove at that for awhile, nothing. Well then i hit resume to 75mph and was driving there for a few minutes, and the damn light did it again, only it took slightly longer to blink. After that i got off the highway and stopped in at a Meijer gas station and went over all my hoses and belts with a fine tooth comb, and a flashlight...nothing wrong that i could tell. So i got back on the highway, did 75 the whole way, and even drove around for an hour after that, stop and go traffic, and there was nothing. nothing at all.
Here´s my theory: the pipe coming off the header and before the resonator is sort of rusted out and there´s a hole. could that be causing my O2 sensor to read too much O2 in my downpipe, causing the ECU to richen the mixture? I´m hoping thats it.
Could I be right, or am I an idiot?
