1983 Buick Skyhawk Check Engine Light

1983 Buick Skyhawk 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic 53,000 miles

When i am driving for awhile the check engine light will come on stay on for a few seconds and then turn off. I don't remember it happening when i first got the car(even when i drove it 30+ miles). I only remember it happening after i got an aftermarket cd player installed and started driving to school(about 20 miles). The car has a new radiator so i don't think it's overheating. I took it to a mechanic and he told me it was a great car and nothing is wrong.
