Default When engine gets warm, check engine light appears

I have a 1993 Mustang GT that I have just bought. I am new to the Mustang world, but I plan on being part of it for ever. Anyway my check engine light comes on just about when the engine gets to operating temp. I have a 180 deg. thermostat. Any one have any ideas. Also I want to post some sound clips of the exhaust on the site. I have BBK shorty headers, BBK offroad H pipe and Flowmaster 4o series and the pipes are cut off and turned down about 3 inches passed the mufflers. I think it sounds great.

First thing you need to do is check to see what codes are being stored.
