Once I have been on the motorway cruising along steadily at anything above 65mph for more than 20 mins the engine management light comes on. There is a slight stutter just as this happens. When I take my foot off the accelerator it goes out after a few seconds. Once it has done it once it will then keep coming on every minute or so which means I end up keeping having to take my foot off all the time which on a long journey gets very annoying.
Had it plugged into Tech 2, came back with o2 sensor. Had a new one put on and didnt cure it and it still said o2 sensor. So got a new AFM and thats still not solved it and its still saying its o2 sensor!
I know the usual thing people say is plug it into Tech2 diagnostic but its been done as I've said above and its lying 
In the past year its had a crankshaft sensor and ICV aswell so they should be ok still!
What else could it be? I'm just gonna have to keep buying bits and trying them cos Tech2 isn't finding the fault.

yeah will keep replacing sensors till the problem is found. Then if that doesn't work I'll have to try ECU
