  The check engine light is on for a reason, as the check light is set at factory specs and when some part of the engine is out of the specs, such as dirty,old,fouled,etc. it will cause the light to come on to let you know there is something wrong, i would say to check or replace the MAP sensor as that is the most common thing to cause trouble. and it should be put on a computor to see why the light is on.
