I hate the check engine light
Ok so yesterday I was driving home, going about 60 mph and the cars spedometer drops to zero and goes right back up to 60 and the car kind of makes a thump noise as it hesitatied for a second. Ran perfectly fine before and after that.
There was no light YESTERDAY
Then today, Im driving the car around all day and about an hour ago, the check engine light came on.
Any ideas?

that almost sounds like a power surge. Its like your cluster reset itself while driving, it shoudln't do that. Your spedometer is controle via PCM, so it is 100% electronic dependent. I havent the slightest idea at what code it might of thrown.
