Open and read your owner's manual and you will find the answer The check engine light comes on when the computer diagnostic has stored an error code. It can be something as simple as the battery has been disconnected recently or something to do with the emissions controls. One way for you to find out is by checking the codes yourself. IT may help to point you in the right direction. This page gives the procedure and some of the codes. Of course, if none of this means anything to you, you can always have to dealer hook it up to their diagnostics. http://www.allpar.com/fix/80s-codes.html Take it to auto parts store they have the same diagnostic code reader and its a free check..
