Default Check engine light

For some reason I only get a check engine light when I drive my 1994 v6 manual at high speeds for an extended period of time.

I can drive around town and no light.

Having trouble reading a flash code as well. The light resets itself after truck is shut off.

You will need to get the code to find out what it is.

You've done the key dance and you get no codes at all?

Hmmm...took a 175 mile trip the other day, no light at all. Wonder if hot weather is to blame?
