Unhappy Check Engine Light @ 115mph?

I was out on a drive with my dad 86' 944 Turbo and my brother 95' Civic Turbo Kit when I passed a car to catch up to them. The Check engine light began flashing at 115mph. So we pulled over and I checked the oil it was low so I added oil. I then restarted the car no light. So I gave it a little gas then the light came on again and just stayed on.
Does anyone know why this happen??

Get a code reader, or find someone who has one, and read the code.

There are so many possibilities that you can't even guess without knowing the code.

Thanks everyone I found out it was a recalled item. The first two plugs needed to be replaced with hotter plugs. Thanks for all your help.
