Default check engine light came on

Drove my car 150 miles last night to RI drove around today no issues started my car an hour ago and check engine light is on and steady...manual says emission issue..any ideas what it could be? car runs fine..i added a vararam like 2 weeks ago...i have aftermarket valve springs comp 918s so no spring conflicts...do you guys think its just a random emission issue? and can i still drive around since i do have to drive another 150 miles tomorrow back home

I agree that it is probably not an issue. often it is a sensor that was out of spec for a moment. But before you clear it, i would go by any of the national auto parts stores, and they can usually read it for you. make a note in case it comes up again.

Minus the lean codes I’ve gotten from an air bridge I’ve had about 6 other codes pop up off and on in a little over a year of owning the car. Cleared them all and they haven't come back.
