Ford E350 Check Engine light

Question

Hi All,My 1992 Jamboree on ford E350 Check Engine light comes on when idling or driving slowly for a long time. It will come off when I accelerate. Temperature and oil pressure OK. Fluid levels OK (maybe a little overfilled transmission oil). Runs fine.What could it be? Should I be concerned about it?Thanks,-Guy

Take it to Auto Zone and they will put their checker on it.

You will need an OBDII scan tool to see what the fault is.

Pretty sure a '92 (maybe even a 1991 chassis) is still OBD-1. Can be read with an inexpensive "reader" (as opposed to the computer-chipped "scanner" for OBD-2), or even with an analog voltmeter. Trapezoidal looking connector under the hood.

But the earlier OBD doesn't store all the info the second generation does.

If it's an OBD-1 then call before you show up as I think some/many no longer provide free code readings for OBD-1 vehicles.
