Default Check Engine lightcame on

Drove my z to work to day, it was the first time driving it since I took it to the track last sunday. Under normal driving conditions it was fine, but when I get on it at high rpms its starts to feel weird and then the check engine light came on and flashed a few times then it went away. What could this be. I did het the rev limit a few times at the track but it felt fine and never had any sigh of a problem. I don't know if it feels as if the clutch is slipping or if it's something in the motor. Does anyone have a clue?

You'll have to check and see if it's got any current codes showing.

I did the check and no codes came up. Then I took it out and got on it and had no problem. Do you think it could have be something to worry about? Had plans on going to the track on sunday, sould I not go?

do a search there is a thread about checking your grounds mounted somewhere on the rear of the engine that are a somewhat common problem causing bogus engine light indications
