I have a 94 probe and everything runs and sounds great. When I am going like 150km/h or more for a few minutes my check engine light goes on. Then when I slow down to 100km/h it stops. Whats the problem?

I would have it checked out by a pro but, I'd be willing to bet that you are either low on oil or you have a bad oil pump. If the light comes on abruptly when you put your foot in it and then goes away when you back it off, that would be my guess...

If the light goes off on its on it is not a "hard fault". A good scanner should read the fault code from the vehicles memory. Try auto zone first, but if it shows no codes you may have to get the dealer to hook it to a factory scanner because they probe the system much deeper than an aftermarket. Also with the car being a 94 it will not have obdII and the saved data will not be as accurate. Most of the time when a fault only occurs at high speeds it is usually and exhaust flow or catalytic converter that sets the code. It may or may not be a real problem because sometime the data processor gets confused at extreme speeds. Good luck

I also have the same problem with a winter beater 93 Ford Taurus. On up hill pulls on a hot day or level 65 mph. highway speeds it intermittently comes on. I've been to the Ford dealer for the third time today and the code can be read is if it's on and I happen to be at the dealership. They wanted $86.00 to hook it up on their scanning machine and the service manager said: We may or may not find it, do you want to take a chance? Hell no I said. For some reason the on-board computer does not store the fault.
It's got a new cap, rotor, wires, plugs and other than the check engine light once in a while it runs fine.
Good Luck with your car though.

could be a lot of things. best way is to go over to auto zone and let them plug into the computer and get the trouble codes from the system, that will tell you what is acting up. They will check it for free. The dealer will charge you an hours labor to do it.

You have something thats setting a trouble code. Have it looked at...but I'd guess a bad spark plug or plug wire.
