I have a 1995 Geo Prism and I took it to the shop to get the timing adjusted and now the car runs rough, put puts and acts like it wants to cut off. The check engine light is now on and it wasn't before all this happened. What could be the problem.

Have the computer scanned for code/s-you have a problem within the engine management system that caused the CEL to turn on-This is your starting point of diagnosis,finding out what's going on.
