I've experienced most Boxster moments over the years -- but had a new one on my way to work.

It's a tired old 3.2S that I beat the snot out of -- has nearly 106K miles -- the last 6K miles are me torturing it either on the street or on the track.

I've been driving my track/street car the past 5 days because the weather here has been awesome -- been running like a dream.

On my way to work today I was pulling about 2.5K RPMs as I accelerated to 3K RPMs and changed lanes. I felt a slight studder and a flashing light on me dash (pretty sure it was the CEL). I thought about pulling off the side of the road immediately and
shut it down, but it otherwise was running fine, oil pressure was fine (I have an aftermarket gauge), temps, rpms, etc were fine. No unusual noises.

I decided I was only a few miles from work -- so I keep the RPMs below 3K, turned off the radio and AC and kept a diligent ear for any odd noises and continuously scanned the gauges.

After maybe 10 seconds the CEL light went out.

When I got to work -- I checked oil levels -- everything was fine, idle oil pressure was fine (as was revving pressure), no noises, no leaks, coolant was perfect.

Note I have an IMS retrofit.

I didn't have my duramatic or scanner -- so I couldn't check for codes.

Very odd -- my initial guess is one of the vario-cams briefly "stuck" maybe throwing off one sides readings relative to the other.

Otherwise no idea -- but that's definitely the first time I have personally seen a blinking CEL that wasn't a complete christmas tree (yes I have seen that twice!)
