Engine Performance problem
2002 Mazda Protege 4 cyl Automatic 95751 miles

Recently I was involved in an accident. Pretty much just my front bumper and right head light was messed up. Well that was a month ago and now my check engine light is on. It feels like whenever I stop at a light that the car is going to die on me. The light was on for about 2 days then it went away for a day or two and now is back on. What could be the problem?
