Starting Issue
So I've noticed recently that my truck is having some starting issues and I can't seem to figure out what is going on.
It starts up right away first thing in the morning, when the truck has been off for at least 8-10 hours or if I have only had the truck turned off for up to 30 minutes. If it has been anywhere between those times the truck turns over for about 5-10 seconds before it fires.
Any of you guys have this happen or have any suggestions? I just did a full service on the truck with all new plugs, wires, etc. and the battery and starter are fairly new. I do have a CE light that comes on and off erratically and I think it might be an O2 sensor but I'm not sure because I don't have a tool to check the code.
Thanks
BTW: Truck is a '93 F-250 with a 5.8

You can check the codes without the need of any tool, attempts at counting the light flashes might make ya a tad dizzy but hey works in a pinch!
