check engine light
for the first time my check engine light came on in my 94 i6 f150 i have a cold air intake (can be seen in my album) on it,i live in wisconsin,the light came on pulling out of work and about a mile down the road the light went out,i cant pull codes cause i dont have equipment for that,and its to cold to stand outside and do it,the truck doesnt run weird or anything,when i turn the ignition on it sometimes make a weird sound other than the fuel pump kicking in,the sound is like a sucking in sound,i dont know how to discribe it,im hoping its one of those times when the light just comes on and there is nothing wrong or it was a little slush hitting something
if u what to see pic of the intake u would have to go into the public profile the gallery link isnt showing pics like it should

Rockin300.....You don't need any equipment to pull the codes on a 94.
Here is a link from the Tech section at the top of this forum. It will show you how to pull the codes and there is a link there that lists the codes. I will also point out that you get to sit inside you truck while you read them. Mine used to come on when I would climb a steep hill by my place, or the odd time I would gun it, but it's long since stopped.
If it went back out...it's likely nothing major, but the computer will have stored the codes.
Hope this helps!

Another set of instructions on how to pull codes: EEC IV Self Test hookup
Just leave out the test light or analog volt meter pictured and watch the check engine light.
