Something's wrong with your engine. You need to plug into one of those diagnostic computer tools, go to a dealer/repair shop/etc. You can buy those code reader things, but they're pricey.

The check engine light comes on and stays on when a problem is detected by the self diagnosis system of your vehicle.

Generally, a check engine light is lit when there is a problem in the emissions or somthing that is affecting the effectiveness of the emissions.
