If you peel back the carpet and look at the ecu you can count the blinking lights and retrieve the code.

If it resets when you turn the key off,
Then usually the code will be for an O2 sensor..

Possibly the sensor is bad or it is running too rich...

Does your speedo work?

My speed sensor is toast, so my speedo doesn't work, and it will only give me the CEL after a bit of off throttle deceleration in gear. Not sure why, but if I never engine brake, the CEL never comes on regardless of how far I drive the car.
