Check engine light>?
My check engine light just came on but the car sounds, runs and looks perfect.

Check the code the ECU is throwing...there's a tutorial to do it somewhere around here.
I'm going to think something silly, like the MAF or some weird sensor. Powerwashed your car lately? (Maybe you just drove it through a big puddle) That can throw a CE light.

Well, apparently you have a problem with your check engine light cam acting as a solenoid-actuated invertor. Or, maybe your CEL light bulb anti-burned out.
In other words, no one is going to have a clue. Unless you provide more info
Here are some things to try:
1) search this forum for how to get the CEL codes
2) buy a haynes manual or the factory service manual to help diagnose the codes
