Just got back from LA! I noticed that my check engine light was coming on and off the whole 6 hour drive?!? It would stay on for a couple miles then turn off? It had me stumped the whole ride?? Any opinions??

1992 foxbody gt, the driving conditions stayed smooth and constant the whole time. Before I left for LA it had a solid check engine light, I never pulled the codes but previous owner told me injectors were bad and I changed them out. The light went away after. But not shure if a faulty injector would cause a CEL?

On some earlier years like 85, the low oil sensor turns on the check engine light.
