Fuel Sender - Check engine light?
Hey,
I recently had my fuel sender replaced on a '93 4 cyl, automatic. Ever since, the check engine light goes on all the time. I had it checked at the garage and nothing is wrong.
Anybody know if there is a connection between replacing the sender and getting the engine light?

Kramska,
I'm by no means an expert, but I think you need to find out what that DTC code is that is responsible for the check engine light coming on. I assume that when you say "the check engine light goes on all the time" you mean that it goes on, and then goes off, and so on. If you had a scanner with freeze frame capability you could store the engine PID's at the time that the light is on. This is the way to diagnose intermittent problems, which I'm assuming is the case with your truck. Maybe someone with more knowledge could take it from here.
