I have brand new spark plugs on the car and have experienced hesitation, especially between 45mph to 60mph range. I have had the oil changed and a tune up at the dealership a month or two ago. The check engine light came on three days ago. What are the possibilities, the cost and how long this can be delayed (would a week be OK)?

First thing you need to do is have the codes read, Autozone does it free, Post the results with the code number(s). Even if the service engine light is not on, there should be freeze frame data stored.
If it won't make it to Autozone, buy a cheap scanner, they can be had for 30-40 dollars, a good investment, since they cover all cars sold in the USA from 96 on.
