If the light has been on, there is a chance the computer stored a code. Take the car to a nationally recognized parts store and have them scan the computer. Most will do it for free, so there is no money out of pocket. If there is a code stored, it will help identify where the problem is coming from.

Have that done and let me know what you find.
