Check engine light

I have just got platinum plugs, 8mm plugs wires put in my 95 F150 last week, also replaced water pump, new brake booster. I just noticed that the engine check light comes on now and then during this week driving, it won't stay all time but it comes and goes as it wishes...any idea why? All oil pressure, cooling system, battery, brakes, works real good, engine runs like top but the check engine light kind a annoying.

Why that platinum plugs cause engine light to come on and off?
