The check engine light usually means that the computer has stored a problem code. Use a code reader to find out what's wrong with the engine. This means there is a problem that has been detected and needs to be fixed. If you are in the states, you can take it to Autozone for free testing. They can pull the codes that are causing that check engine light to illuminate and tell you what they mean (for free). This should help you with future troubleshooting.
