Default check engine light

My check engine light comes on for a few seconds, then goes off for a few seconds, then comes back on. It only seems to happen when I let off the gas. Accelerating it goes off. First noticed when I stopped, turned on the ect power button, and hit the gas. Anyone else have this problem?

Thanks!

Most likely due to an electrical problem---loose wires. When you accelerate, the wires come together and the circuit is fine, but when you decelerate, the connection goes bad again and the indicator flashes. Just my theory...
