Hi guys. After a spirited drive last night, on the way home the "check engine" light came up on the dash. During normal driving and idle the car is fine. It blows no smoke and is not overheating. It is boosting well in all rev ranges. 0-60% of throttle is as normal. However, at full throttle the car is boosting but the engine seems to just hesitate. It doesn't miss or make any bad noises. It just feels like its making a lot less power. I would just take it to a mechanic but as they are pretty much all on holidays now I thought I'd see if anyone has any similar experience they could scare me with. I'm assuming I would have heard a pretty large bang and have some nice smoke if anything let go in the engine. I drove it today and the engine light didn't come on and it drove perfectly when just puttering around. However, the same problem occurs under WOT. Cheers
