"Check Engine" Light

Hi,
Every know and then, when i turn my car on, my "check engine" light in the dash comes on, and stays on for around 1 or 2 minutes. I tried to look it up, and found that it probably is something electrical. But wouldnt have a clue what.

The car seems to be running perfect, nothing else seems to be wrong.

Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated.

That's usually a sign that your O2 sensor(s) are going bad, but, can't be for sure until it blinks and points you toward a code.

Darn, I thought I had the "Check Engine Code" chart in my SVX files, but, can't find it. Do a search. I'm sure the procedure has been posted before.

Thanks for the help guys

I will do a diagnostic check on it next time the check engine light comes on.
