Default check engine light came on

i was driving home and the check engine light came on 5minutes before i got home.. as most of u alrdy know i had a spon bearing which i fixed but my crankshaft is still fuked (makes knocking sound) anyways the check engine light came on. its too dark out and raining so i just thought i come here and post lol
what are the possible causes?? i was thinking sensors?? should i try disconnecting the battery for a few minutes then connecting it back?

got to your local AUTOZONE and run their diagnostic tool through your car. you'll most likely get a p code. its a free service, i'll specify whats wrong with your car.

yeah just go up to Autozone and get then to check what code(s) its throwin. I went to Autozone but they could not read my code because its a obd1. I have a 93 JDM H22. my CEL comes on sometimes. usually usually if im just cruzing around in low rpms. I recently changed my distribor, new spark plugs and msd wires, and got a new fuel filter. But light still comes on. i'll try to get the code myself via paperclip i just havent got around to it yet.

Just out of curiousity, why would you apologize for something and still do it?

And...you don't have to unhook your battery cable to reset your engine codes. You can just take out the clock/radio fuse for a few seconds.
