The check engine light (service engine soon) comes on and stays on when a problem is detected by the self diagnosis system of your vehicle. Generally, the problem is in the emissions or something that is affecting the effectiveness of the emissions, but other causes can trigger the light to come on, too. To determine the cause, the vehicle will need to be taken to AutoZone or a shop that has an OBD2 scanner, or for 1995 and earlier models, an OBD1 scanner, While a scanner will not give you the magic answer, it will give you a code that narrows down the problem area.
On these particular vehicles, it is most common that the O2 sensor is bad. There is only one and it is on the exhaust manifold on the motor side right behind the radiator.

service engine does not have to be on. unless battery has been disconnected, all codes should still be in memory and you will be able to retrieve the codes. I had the same thing happen in my 96 cutlass, it was throwing a code every now and then. The service engine light would come on for a while then go away, however, the car did idle roughly but drove smoothly, after putting the code reader on I found that the cam positioning sensor was faulty. I replaced the sensor the car idled smoothly and the code went away. Hope this is helpfull to anyone.
