On my car, the "service engine soon" light comes on, and stays on for a few minutes, then turns off. When the lights actually appears, the car kind of boggs down when excelerating. As soon as the light goes off, the car is running fine? I always keep up with my oil changes, keep a clean air filter in it, and put good gas in it. What could possibly be my problem?

Have the computer scanned for code/s-you have a problem within the engine manangement system that caused the CEL to turn on-This is your starting point of diagnosis, finding out what's going on.
