    CEL comes on while coasting

    Whenever I am coasting in neutral or just sitting at a light, my E30's CEL comes on. It goes away as soon as I give it gas, but anyone know why this is happening?

    vac leak? Do you have oscillating idle?

    Otherwise, maybe tps? I have no idea when it comes to m20 management, so I'm picking at straws, but your initial description leads me to ask these questions.

      All of those could be possibilities, it just started happening a week ago, and every once in a while it has a rough idle.
