i was driving on the highway for about 5 or 6 mins (city driving 10 mins before highway) and the check engine light came on. after leaving the car parked for 2 hours, i started it up and it was off...untill iw as on the highway for, again, 5 mins. I got home, turned the engine off, took the keys out and restarted the engine, and it didnt come on..

tryed to figure out that E1 and T thing...i dont know what im doing though, i THINK i know what cable to play with..but i dont know which is T and which is E1....even if i do, will the code show up if the light doesnt come on until the highway?
