Default CEL goes on and off in '95 Civic, how do you diagnose?

My GF just bought a '95 civic and the check engine light will periodically come on and then shut off before we are able to get it to autozone to have them pull the codes. I was thinking it might be o2 sensor but am not very familiar with Hondas. Wondering if there are any reoccuring things that happen with this year civic that might be causing this. TIA

Don't know what I was thinking but I realized that my girls civic is OBDI so I am not sure how to pull the codes.

Passenger side kick panel, just under the dash and to the right of the glovebox are 3 plug that aren't plugged into anything but a rubber boot. Pull them down, take the plug with TWO wires only, and jump them together. A paperclip works, or an old piece of wire. Make sure the car is off when you do this. After you have jumped the wire, turn the car to the RUN position but don't start it. Write down the flashes the Check Engine like makes. Thats your code.

Check the stickys at the top of the page for detailed info.

Damn was much easier than I thought. You don't even need to pull the kick panel back, the plug is just wrapped up under the glove box. Ended up being the fuel supply code because was on E lol
