The first thing you need to do is have the computer scanned. If the check engine light is on, the computer has a trouble code stored in it. What to do is take it to a nationally recognized parts store and have them scan the computer. Most will do it for free. Once you get the code, let me know what it is so I can further advise you.

Have the computer scanned for code/s-you have a problem within the engine management system that caused the CEL to turn on-This is your starting point of diagnosis,finding out what's going on.
