Autozone is usually very good for checking error codes so hopefully you
may be driving near one to stop. If not, call around to other auto parts
stores in your area. The one by me in Brookfield Ct even gives you the
printout. Three years ago my check engine light on my '99 Accord came on
and tightening & replacing the gas cap didn't solve it. It was a
catalytic converted low threshold error.
I was shocked when the Honda dealer told me it would be about $800 or
the cat alone plus a couple hours labor! It was one of the shortest cats
I had seen and in the best possible location to work on. I searched and
found an after-market cat from Summitracing.com for about $140. It took
40 minutes to replace it.
Last year the light came on again and it was an emissions vacuum
canister. I didn't have time to do it myself so it cost me $190 at the
dealer.
Good luck!

Re: Engine light
Sorry, been away for a while. Turns out it was a loose gas cap. My
wife (or young one) didn't tighten it fully at the last refuel.
Phew!

Then the error code was P0457. This is why we need the error code itself in
order to make any sort of prognostication at all.
