Go to AutoZone and get the codes read. Then post the codes here.

Another option is to purchase your own OBDII code reader. As I recall, they are down in the $20 range these days.

Yeah, gonna need a little bit more information... A check engine light could mean anything from a complete failure to a leaky gas cap... So please, indulge us with more information.
