power. fluids fine.Any adv? Light stays on, misses and power is less but its running. Afraid to drive untill I find out whats wrong.
 
The check engine light is on because there is an error code stored in the computer that runs the engine. The first thing you need to do is find out what that code is. Take the car over to a national chain auto parts store (like AutoZone) and most of them will read the code off of the computer for free.

When you get the code, come back here, and in "Additional Details" put in what the code is. That will help me, or anyone else who wants to answer your question, determine what the problem is.
 
If the Check engine light came on, there is a trouble code stored. IT can be read out with an OBD code reader. An auto parts store may be able to lend one to you. That would be the place to start.
 
Call auto parts stores near you and find one that offers the free use of a scanner. The scanner will give you the trouble code that turned on your check engine light and that will tell what needs to be fixed.
