CEL on after changing plugs
Ok during the fall my truck left me at camp due to a wet cap and rotor. I got it all dried out using a heater and a hair dryer. Not wanting to chance it not starting again I installed all new cap, rotor, plugs and wires. After above a week I got my first CEL. It came on only for a little while and then went away. Now for the last 3 weeks or so it will come on and go out only after it is warm. It does seem to effect the driving only in that it seems more sluggish and requires more pedal to get it up the hills. Any ideas would be great. I attempted to take it to Auto Zone but the CEL was not on when I got it there. I work constantly and dont have a chance to have it looked at by anyone without paying for it so help if you can. Thanks

Like RTM said, the code is still stored unless you've disconnected the battery. Pulling the codes is easy and you can do it yourself with just a paperclip and a piece of paper.. Read this: http://www.broncodata.com/tech/codes.htm
