Default Not sure what shes doing

Just finnished going through all the basic tuneup parts cap,wires,plugs and
rotor. Went for a ride out to the beech on sunday and almost all the way there was trafic. My vette was running about 200-220 temp and died then
started back up with no problem. After a couple of minutes the check engine light came on and stayed on for the rest of the day. Yesterday I took her out for a ride and the check engine light would not come on.When this happend it
reminded me of a vapor lock problem that I had in a hot rod years ago. I have a GM code reader!!! though I think yhe problem would have to acure for this to work correct. :confused:

The code is stored for some very large number of key cycles. It should still be in there.
