    Mate Id first try doing an error code check to make sure theres no problems with the ECU or the engine management systems etc.If theres a problem somewhere,and its setting the engine light off,it should have set and logged an error code.Heres a link to a page that shows you how to do this simple test to check these codes..

    G'Day John, could be one of the shift solenoids playing up in the trans.....do like Bretts says as every time the engine light comes on it "should" leave a code....hope the tail-lights are workin!!!!
