Our 1997 900SE has been experiencing the "problem" for a few months now. Typically, the Check Engine icon is only related to emissions issues (gas cap missing/loose). After fiddling with the cap and later getting a diagnostic done, it seems there is a poor electrical connection someplace; simply soldering the break should fix it, though we've been relying on our poor road surfaces to jar/shake the connection back into place. -- J.Harris '01 9-3SE '97 900SE '88 9000T (R.I.P.)
