Yeah, a check engine light could be an emissions issue or simply a frayed sensor wire. However, it could be catastrophic and end up requiring an engine replacement. As a mechanic, I'd recommend taking the car to the nearest automotive parts store and asking them to check for codes, which they often can do for free or a small fee. Codes will indicate the type of problem and the severity, which you can then take to a mechanic. Avoid paying an $800 fix now could lead to a $17,000 transmission replacement later.
