My check engine light came on during this past winter....I knew I had to do some work on the exhaust system. Turned out that I needed new flex pipe after I had that replaced which was only a little over $100 the light went off and hasn't been back on.

Update: May 2009 Check engine light has come back on now...guess my oxygen sensor went bad...car's been acting funny lately, overheating in idle and whatnot. Hoping that a new sensor will fix this issue.
