It's hard to tell you what's causing it without more information. An new mods recently?

Take it to Autozone and see what code you get.

If it is just the check engine light it is nothing serious.

When things like vdc/slip/abs/airbag and everything else start turning on...that is when something is really wrong.

Check engine...usually something small.

Dont reset the ECU.. it doesnt do anything but clear the cold along with everything else.. radio stations, drivers adaptation, fuel maps etc..

Bring to autozone they'll pull the code for free... or take it to SEARs and tip a kid $5-$10 and they'll pull the code as well =P.. once you get the code google it and see what you get or post it up here.. then we'll help you out..

Check basics first.. hows your idle? good? not rough? etc..

Check engine light usually has to do with emissions..
