Hello,
This issue could be due to a number of components.
Since the check engine light is illuminated, a good first step would be to scan and retrieve the trouble code(s). That can help in determining what the issue is.
If you do not have access to one, most auto parts stores have scanners that can be used to get the codes.
Here is a helpful guide:

Find out the codes and let me know what they are or if you have any questions.
Thank you.
