check engine light comes on just after it warms up ?
 
the last few times ive started my car and let her warm up no problems until i drive for about 2 or 3 mins and then check engine light comes on .
no codes are coming up when i do the diagnostic check
what do u think it could be ?

How is that possible? If the light has come on even recently there should be some memory codes stored.....

What does the CEL do when you hook up the ground lead to the test plug?
