Default Engine light on and off

The engine light in my 95 f150 turns on and off pretty commonly after I had my tranny rebuilt, any ideas?

lose wire? take it back and tell them whats going on. it should be on warranty. or go to a parts store and have them check what code its throwing.

yes, a ground. or anything. when i had my transmission rebuilt it had some problems with the grounds after it was all done. i had to go back 2-3 times because of the check light coming off and on. was all under warranty so it was free for me. they found a bad ground and decided to add a 2nd one to make sure the problem is fixed. 2 years and not 1 CEL.
