Some of the most common reasons for the check engine light are the following. Remember that this is only a small number of potential problems.

The head seal is blown, which is often clean of smoke.
The oxygen sensor in the system is not working or is defective, which can cause or cause the problem.
Spark plugs or connecting wires are worn or not working properly.
Exhaust gas recirculation valves are sticky and do not work as they should.
Some hoses or manifolds are cracked or loose and need attention.

The check engine light is your friend and not a pesky nuisance.
