You need to pull your computer codes to see what is causing the light to come on. I bought an Innova digital reader through JC Whitney for around 30 bucks. There is a way to get them by using a paperclip and counting flashes of the check engine light, but I'm not sure how this is done. Some parts stores will check codes for free.
