Some GM manifolds have a defective design that allows the coolant to leak from underneath the throttle body assembly inside the manifold. This can contaminate oil (check for caramel milkshake color on dipstick), and cause air pockets to form underneath the sensor---thus the erratic signal.

The check engine light comes on and stays on when a problem is detected by the self diagnosis system of your vehicle. Generally, the problem is in the emissions or something that is affecting the effectiveness of the emissions, but other causes can trigger the light to come on, too. To determine the cause, the vehicle will need to be taken to AutoZone or a shop that has an OBD2 scanner, or for 1995 and earlier models, an OBD1 scanner, While a scanner will not give you the magic answer, it will give you a code that narrows down the problem area.
