latley my check engine light has poped on  briefly on three occasion, twice when i wanear the "E" on the gas gauge, and once today wiht a 1/4 of a tank, is this a problem or a faulty light...its only one for about a minute or so then it pops back off and is fine for the rest of the ride

a lot of times cars have the check engine light on when you are low on gas I'm not too sure about the 240 due to the fact that I never had a chance to reach the "E" yet and also sometimes when  you are on a hill or something the car thinks it has less gas then it really does and turns the check engine lightt on and when you get on level ground again it senses more gas and turns it off. Maybe

Just a thought
