checkengine light when accelerating

[ciruspilot]

hey my check engine light comes on when i get on the gas or when im goin up a hill. When I come off the gas or when I stop goin up a hill the light goes off. Anyone ever seen this before. Dont want to just start replacing stuff blindly.

Don't just start changing stuff blindly.

I would start by pulling diagnostic codes...

I found a great article on how to test for codes.

This will be of particular interest to those with 1984 through 1988 models, but is also excellent for those up to the 1995 models.

Does the engine do anything different just before, or when the light comes on?
