I've posted a thread similar to this before but not many responded....so I'm trying again. On my 95 X Sport my check engine light comes on every day...usually after driving around 10 mins....I'm thinking that the O2 sensors are going/gone??? Second it has a slight shimmy at idle but nothing bad.....I have not lost nothing on my MPG...just wondering if anyone has any ideas...OOHHH and probably once a month or so.....after sitting overnight...I'll get in to start my truck....and it will Idle like S**t. but after driving to the corner...everything evens out.....Please Help or it's going to the ever dreaded mechanic today.

Hi, it could be anithing so prepare your wallet$$$$$, but I hope not. Good luck.
 






possibly bad cat-converter? correct me if i am wrong guys
 






Sounds like the oxygen sensor(s). Last time I had three replaced. Luckily I only had to cover the warranty deductable of $100.
 






If the check engine light comes on, do a diagnostic and see what it says. Since it comes on and stays on after 10 mins, get it on and drive to the dealer or something .Don't shut the truck off obviously! :-)

Unless there's another way to diagnose this, bringing it to the dealer while the thing is acting up is the best way for you to find out what's going on. There should be a code stored in there regardless, since it's coming on everyday after 10mins.
 






Found out the problem....I ended up replacing the DPFE sensor and now I don't have to stare at that annoying orange light anymore...Thanks for all your help.
