My 1997 ford escort, when I start giving the car gas from a complete stop, sometimes has sluggish acceleration and the check engine light comes on and then turns off. One time the car stalled and and I had to restart it. Don't know what this is, it does not happen all the time.

Check engine light:

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.
