There is a problem effecting the emissions controls. Take it in and have the computer scanned and the problem fixed. Go to the climate control panel and press the 'Off' and 'WARM' button for 5 or 6 seconds, the fuel data display will change to the onboard dianostics mode. Watch all the code numbers that appear. The same simptoms can occurr if he Power Steering pressure switch is bad, power steering fluid is excessively low, or the power steering pump has gone bad. The problem seems to go away after you have gone a short distance. You should be getting a service engine soon light also. Code E40 is power steering switch open.
and what code does the check engine light say ? go by autozone they will check it for free and get the code.

No - the check engine light is strictly a communication device. Does not perform any functional role beyond that.
With my Forenza , Sometimes when backing the check engine light will come on and stay on ,and the car runs rough as it is low on power . After Turing it on and off a few times , the check engine light will turn off and the car will run normal . What's the cause of this .
There are pages and pages of things that can cause a check engine light. You need to have it checked with a scantool. Then the code can be diagnosed and repaired.
Engine coolant temp sensor. I would check codes if you have a ECT code replace the sensor. does the check engine light come on with key on engine off, If it doesn't replace bulb. If the engine light works check fuel preasure,
You can disconnect your batteries for about 30 minutes, and it'll reset the ECM and the check engine light will be gone... momentarily, until the next diagnostic runs and the same fault is detected. You want to get rid of the check engine light, you find out the reason why and have it fixed.
Take it to a place that does free check engine light check. Some will reset it after they check it for you. Place in New York State are listed on http://NewYorkForum.us
