Did the car do anything abnormal when the Check Engine Light (CEL) came on?

Since you mention the light came on for 5-10 seconds, a code was probably set. You local auto parts store MAY be able to pull the troublecodes from your OBD-I system. Otherwise you can jumper a couple of terminals in the EEC connector and have the CEL flash out the codes.

You will be looking for a code stored in the Key On, Engine Off (KOEO) memory.

I see you're also in Cedar Rapids. If you can't find someone to read the codes and don't want to attempt jumpering the EEC pins, private message me and we can throw my scan tool on it.

I'm currently on travel and will be on travel again mid next week, but could probably find some time between trips to hook the scan tool up.
