I'll be riding down the road and everything is fine but if i need to pass a car or go up a hill and i press the gas peddle the light came on. Does anyone have any idea(s) what this mite be? any help would be fantastic i am getting sick of seeing the CEL thanks Sam 1996 Contour GL Zetech no add on's just stock a plan jan lol

The only reason I say this is because this is what happened to me: Going up a hill - CEL, try to pass someone - car boggs down and doesn't want to go anywhere - CEL.
