Interesting issue with Cruise control and a CEL
Hi All, I've been having this same issue for the last 3 weeks and the circumstances seems to be pretty consitant. I've already taken into the dealer once and they couldn't find any problems with it.
Basically if I have the cruise control set to slightly over 100kph for a short period of time (around 10 minutes or so) I get a check engine light, normally the P2096. This then goes away after a few days of non-highway driving. The car still drives normally, no loss of power, no surging, no new strange sounds, nothing.
If I drive without cruse control on at the same speed for the same period of time then everything works fine. So I'm startign to think I have a glitch in the computer somewhere. Do any of you have any idea what is going on here? Any advise is greatly appreciated.
If it helps I have a 2003 GT Manual with about 65000kms on it.

Your FRONT O2 sensor might be bad.
MAF could be bad, or just dirty.
it cold be bad gas too.
It has something to do with LTFM which I am not going to explain (too long)
if your FRONT O2 sensor has never been replace, it might be a good time to take the old one out, test it, if its bad, replace it.
Test the MAF too, or clean it if you never did it b4
