Maintenance/Repairs

My 1992 Subaru Loyale with +213,000 miles turned the “Check Engine” light on. I haven’t noticed any difference in performance, no drop in oil pressure, higher temperature, or low battery. . She accelerates and drives the way she did before the light came on. The light doesn’t flash, it just stays on for an arbitrary period of time and occasionally shuts off or actually doesn’t turn on. Could this be an O2 sensor? EGR? Is there a quick and INEXPENSIVE way to get my computer scanned? The cheapest place in town who can still do OBD1 is $80! Do I fork over the money, and find out the problem is just a short in the “Check Engine” light? Any cheap after-market scanners? McGuyver-ish techniques?

Thanks,

Greg
