Car: 2005 380 GT

I am new here and this is my first post!! I had to accelerate super hard cause od some stupid driver overspeeding when I was merging into the motorway and as soon as my car hit 4k rpm+ the engine light came flashing. It flasehd for 20 seconds and then turned solid. It was almost due for a service as well. So I ended up servicing it and the light stayed one day and disappeared. It came back again as soon as acceleration crossed 4K RPM causing the same exact thing. After a research I concluded it to be a dieing battery so I replaced it with a 630cca stinger gold plus battery. The engine lamp disappeared and I was happy only to my disappointment that it came back as soon as I accelerated hard. I got a OBDII scanner and it gave me 4 codes and then I rescanned and no codes came up. Did live scanning and it showed faults. Can anyone help me??

could be the knock sensor, do you have a rattle in the exhaust? e

disconnect the battery for 5 minutes, put some BP 98 in it.

report back...

Thank you for replying me so fast. First thing is that the engine light went away 3 hrs after I posted here. This happens after 3-6 normal drives after the engine light comes on. This has happened 3 times to me already. I did accelerate above 4000rpm and the engine light didnt come on fortunately.
I forgot to mention that the first time the engine lamp came on was because of a bad batch of fuel from bp lol so what I did is I drove till my fuel lamp came on and I filled the car with some shell 98 and the problem seemed to go away. So I usually fill 95 but since I have only put 98. Now I did notice a rattling in my exhaust but only happened when I put 95 and as soon as I put 98 there was a huge change in the engine performance, noise and acceleration. The rattling went away too So far the engine light didn't come on and I am happy. Anything comes up I will definitely post and keep it updated. A BIG THANK YOU once again Mr. Administrator :D
