    Hey guys,

    Tonight was out for a spirited drive in the 430, at one point I noticed the CEL light came on for a split second then went off again. Car is totally fine, was driving great, light didn't come back on after the brief flash, anything to worry about, any ideas what may have happened?

    Are you sure it was the CEL and not the traction control or stability control light? A CEL usually stays on until ignition is cycled or code is cleared either manually or automatically (like when gas cap is not closed properly). You could always hook up a reader and see if a code was stored. If not, no worries IMO. Good luck.

    Pretty sure it was the cel light, but it was so brief, might try a reader and see if there was any codes.
