Usually that "idiot light" is trying to tell you something. Unless you are quite confidant that you have no engine, fuel line, other problems - you should take the vehicle to your mechanic or dealer to have it checked. The service person will usually simply plug in a hand held computer that tells him or her a code. The mechanic then checks this code to determine what is wrong. ...and turns off the light

NO, the service engine light means that a scheduled service is due. Usuallly this means an oil/filter change. However if the Check Engine light is on this can be serious, and means there is a problem with the emissions controls.
There are pages and pages of things that can cause a check engine light. You need to have it checked with a scantool. Then the code can be diagnosed and repaired.
