Check engine light on

The check engine light comes on in my '94 after 10 to 15 minutes of running. It is very cold here in Illinois right now, would that be a factor? Would the cold be messing with the sensors. It is running fine now and all gauges show good signs. I'm going to go and have it checked out tomorrow but figured what the heck, I'll ask on here.

Pull the codes and see why the check engine light is coming on. It's impossible to guess what it could be. http://fordfuelinjection.com has instructions for how to pull the codes yourself.

Great info! I just got my 1995 Ford F-150 running and get a check engine light when the engine warms up.

I get:

565: Canister purge circuit failure (KOEO)
and
332: EGR Valve opening not detected (CM)

Never heard of the canister purge system, but have heard of EGR Valve.

Can anyone suggest troubleshooting steps?

Thanks!
