   My 94 Delta 88 LSS has started intermittently displaying the low coolant
warning light. Normally comes on after a few minutes of driving and goes off
after 5-10 minutes. The coolant in the radiator and reservoir are not low.
Wondering if it's some pressure problem or just a bad  sensor? Hard to fix
or expensive?
   With the recent cold mornings the check engine has also started to act
up. If you shut engine off and restart after it's warm it stays off. Bad O2
sensor? Thanks for any info.

Are you absolutely sure it's not low?  The symproms are correct for
marginally low coolant, comes on when cold and goes out when the coolant
heats up and expands in volume enough to put the light out.  Always happened
that way on my Aurora.  Try adding a litre of coolant and see what it does.
No relationship to pressure. Too many possibilities to guess on the check
engine light, but more likely to be a temp rwlated sensor, air intake temp,
ambient temp, coolant temp etc.  You need to retrieve the trouble codes.
