Check engine light

If there aren't any codes in the system I like to assume there isn't a problem. It could just be that a sensor has problems or something of that nature. For the longest time my SVX's check eng light would come on under these circumstances.
1. Drive and warm the car up.
2. Stop and let the car sit for at least 5 but not more than 15 minutes.
3. Drive the car up a hill without gunning the engine.

Did it maybe 30-40 times always under these conditions. The dealer didn't have a clue b/c it didn't hold any codes and of course they couldn't replicate the problem. I started using a fuel injector cleaner every 3rd fill up and the problem hasn't been back. Not saying it was the cleaner but who knows. I'd take it to the dealer and let them tell you what they think.
