The check engine light is the computer telling you it sees something wrong. You need to get the codes from the computer to see what it's problem is. You can try to take it to a local auto store and see if they will plug into it for free, or you can follow the instructions at this site http://dalidesign.com/hbook/eectest.html and do it yourself.

Tells us the codes...and the answer will come....Or was that a baseball field?

Seriously -most auto part stores will read the codes for free.
