Check Engine Light Too hot outside?

[jaketone]

So here in Sacramento it has been 100-107 degrees lately. 2 days ago, when it was 107, my check engine light turned on.
I drove around for 2-3 miles and then parked it in the garage for 3 hours after which I got back in and drove around the block. By then it was about 99 degrees and my check engine light turned off.

Is it just coincidence that the light turned on during the heat and off when it had cooled down? Has anyone else ever seen this happen and is there something else I should be looking into?

You might have become heatsoaked. You have a FMIC?

Last time I checked heatsoak didn't turn on my CEL....

Yeh, mine does the same thing, but I have a 3.0. Haven't figured the durn thing out yet, but it goes away on its own! If the light is still on tomorrow, I'll drive over to CSK and have them OBDII scan it.

If you don't have a vag go down to autozone and have them pull the code, it's free, and will tell you what you want to know.
