Default Crap Crap Crap... Check engine light came on
Nothing in particular happened and the car seems to be running just fine.

I start it up for a quick trip for some tacos at half-time and after about 30 seconds of driving, I notice the check engine light is on. I just about threw up, as the car is just 1.5 months out of warranty.

Will the dealer charge me to get this checked out? Any ideas what could randomly set the check engine off and still have the car feel and run smoothly?

Default Yes
and I just filled up on the way home (was at a friends watching the game) hoping somehow a little to drink might ease her problems. Stupid light seemed to be shinning brighter after the fill up.

Auto Zone has a free code reader... many will vote for the MAF - a popular 'guess'
