Default check engine light on after fuel filter

just did a fuel filter on my car today and it ran fine all day and i just go out to move my car and the check engine light is on...any ideas what code it could be or why it would have turned on all of a sudden?

did you touch anything else besides the fuel filter? disconnect any sensors/touch any wiring(which you dont have to do when replacing the fuel filter)? could just be a coincidence and your 02 sensor went out.... if you're gonna be lazy and not search at least be as descriptive as possible please

CHECK THE CODE FIRST AND FOREMOST, if don't know how to.....go to autozone, or check the FAQ"S at the top of this lovely forum you posted in and there's a diy
