Default Intermit.check engine light

I'm new to C3 ownership so please excuse if this is a stupid question.On cool mornings,like this morning(57)my check engine light will come on for about a minute maybe more or less and go off.The engine runs fine and there seems to be no difference in preformance.It only does this when cool out otherwise it won't come on at all.This is on my 82CE.Thanks.

You really need to find out what code has been set in the computer to help us figure what is going on. Off hand, it MIGHT be that the coolant temp. sensor is out of range when it is that cold out and by running the engine, it goes back into it's proper range. THIS IS JUST A GUESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Scan for codes and get back to us.
