Go to an auto parts store and they will usually read the check engine code for free. Then you can narrow down your search. Unless something looks obviously wrong under the hood . . .

X2, what ever the code is they will give you some possible solutions. Before you start throwing parts at it (because they are a parts store) report the CEL code and I am sure many of the experienced members will give you some ideas. It probably is just an evap leak if you have not noticed any real change in performance. Just in case, check your gas cap before you do anything else.
