the wiring on this pickup seems a little weird  
the car is a 1991 chevrolet s10 pickup, 2wd,4.3l automatic.  
The car runs and drives fine without a problem but when the car is at its normal operating temperature a little below half 210 degree it throws the check engine light, and it stays on, it only happens when its at normal temperature,  
i was thinking the wiring was wired up wrong can that be it? if so what should i look for?  
what turns on when the car is at normal operating temperature?  
The fan? can it be grounded at the thermostat?  
It only a distraction to me worst come to worst i;ll tape it off lol and dont see it.  
but i would like to solve the problem first. thanks

It does not overheat either.
