Check Engine Light?

Everytime I start my 1991 syclone up, the check engine light stays on for about 5 minutes then goes off and dont come back on the rest of my ride. It only does this when the engine is cold. After a brief warmup period of 4-7 minutes it goes out and stays off. If I shut it off right away and then start it back up , the light does not come back on. Anyone with any ideas whats going on here? I probably will take it to a dealership to have it fixed since im not the mechanical type. I would just like to get someone's thought's about what they think is causing this light to stay on when I start this thing up when it hasnt run for several days. Thanks for any help out there.
 
Re: Check Engine Light?

Don't take it to the dealership. They will charge you an arm and a leg to fix it. Chances are it is as easy as a sensor to replace. Take it to a local parts store and have them check the code. It should be stored in the ECM if it is a real code. The code should give you an idea if it is a problem or not.

If you take it to the dealer be prepared to shell out at least $500 for the visit and the repair.
