my service engine light comes on when I am driving on the freeway at freeway speeds but it goes off at the light within a minute when I am off the freeway, why?
CEL comes on on highway, off at light..

You need to have the code(s) read to determine why.

Its OBD1!
I think its exhaust. I smelled it. Needs that bolt drilled.
From what I read here, it CAN be drilled...

Could be vacuum related - high vacuum on highway and low vacuum off highway.
I may have opportunity, MAY, to trade for 1993 Buick Century GranSport... high miles with iffy trans, but...
I dunno.
Am on break, will read later!!
Or can buy outright for $800.

Why would you want something with an iffy transmission and what would possess you to purchase yet something else to throw money (not to mention gallons of snake-oil) at.
You need to prioritize what you are trying to accomplish.....dependable transportation, an endless money pit, or something that looks fairly presentable? By my count you are one out of three so far.

If I remember right, code 12 will flash 3 times first, and then any stored codes will flash 3 times. There might also be a 12 in between multiple codes.

My Escort had this problem, turns out to be a dirty MAF sensor.

Anyone who wants to do a straight trade for your vehicle thinks you have something better. That's the first sign the deal isn't worth pursuing.
