Zoran,
I am assuming you mean the "Check Engine" light.  This is a non-specific indication telling you the computer has detected a malfunction.  There are literary hundreds of reasons for this.  You need to have an OBD-II scan to pull the error code from the computer.  You can get one for less than $70 US:

Then go here to look it up yourself if you wish.
