Default CEL/engine problem

in my 95 db8, the CEL comes on when im driving for about 30 min on the freeway or if i floored it hard. when the CEL is on, i can't go beyond 6500 rpm. Why does the CEL comes on? Is it the engine going bad?

You can check the CEL code with the following procedure: http://www.c-speedracing.com/faq/06.php

Post your results and we should be able to give some suggestions.

Most likely you'll need to replace the switch.

I've attatched the troubleshooting guide from the Helms manual for a code 22 for a more detailed explanation.

Just to clarify the location of where exactly the pressure switch is, on the first page of this file there's a picture that points to what part of the overall solenoid valve housing the pressure switch is. The solenoid valve is mounted to the cylinder head next to the distributor.
