[Shotimes] check engine light and cold

[Bruce Malachuk]

My car has done that on really really cold mornings too. Only happens if I
give it some gas (above 3k RPM) in the first 5 min of running It comes on
stays let for 5-6 seconds then goes off. Has not left any codes in memory
and I'm inclined to believe it is the one O2 sensor that gave me a little
trouble earlier in the year. I have a pair of new ones waiting for the
spring and 3.2 swap to install :-)

The check engine light on my '93 wouldn't go away until the cats were
replaced.

> The check engine light was on all the time on both of my 94 ATXs and the
same on my 93 SLO. They all ran great. I believe it has something to do with
emmissions and not engine oil or coolant. It's too bright a light to leave
on at night, so I just took out the bulbs. You're right, that "other"
subject has been adequately covered.    Dave
