Interesting CEL issue...
I had a hot start problem on SVXAPEALs 5MT 92, so I did the added start relay.
Works beautifully... 5+ hours of driving today and started great every time. HOWEVER... I can pull up to a stop light and push in the clutch and have the check engine light come on. I will be sitting there with the clutch in and the rpms will drop slightly... then idle will pick up to around 1100.. and then back to normal... and the CEL pops on. As soon as I release the clutch... in gear or in neutral, it goes out. It isnt causing a problem... just a curious issue to have. Jim

Jim,
Have you tried to pull codes from the ECU to see if it's actually storing one? -Bill

Not yet, today is the first day its happened... and we were out visiting family.
Will check tomorrow. If I were a betting man, I would bet that it isnt. Jim

or you could bet on an O2 sensor on its way out

I would rather bet on it being nothing

Do you have a clutch switch?
