No but I am not entirely sure. Because it's not easily repeatable and there's no way to predict when it happens. Also, when it happens, I must quickly get rid of it because the car behind me does not expect me to suddenly slow down. But when I never catch the CEL on...

Try cleaning out your fuel injectors.

see if your check engine light has burned out... I once replaced mine.. its jus an assumption...when you turn the key it should light up..if thats not the case get the computer to obd2 off of ebay for like 20$ and you can check how the fuel system is running, timing n all the good stuff to see how all the pressure in your car is running including sensors.

The CEL is on when I turn my key to ON. I also read codes from autozone but there's no code.

do you have an obd2 ? use a friends obd2..there has to be a code that the obdputs out..maybe there is sumthin wrong with your ecu.. but before u get into all that like i said use an obd2 autozone dnt let you use theirs anymore i guess they have stopped letting people use their obd2's nowadays cuz mechanics complaint cuz they r money hungry..
