Yellow engine light

Hi guys

Need some help please. I was driving home the other night (2 nights ago) from work and it was freaking cold the onboard computer said the temp was 1 degree celsius. The roads were dead quite so I decided to punch it. I got up to about 160kph then all of a sudden the yellow engine light came on. I have only put in K&N airfilters all the rest is stock. Then today all of a sudden it went off. Any help appreciated. I live at high altitude if that make a diff with the air being a bit less dense. ie less oxygen in air.
