Re: engine light problems !!!!!!!!!!!
check the O2 and the MAF. If the sensor connection on either is loose or isn't making constant connection, the light will come on and, the car will run ruff. I would start at the MAF connection. I have an 87 5.7 and, if the MAF sensor isn't connected the check engine light comes on and, the car Idles ruff.

there is a sensor on the driver side exhaust manifold ( assuming they haven't been changed out to headers). that reads the exhaust info to the computer.
It will be down the manifold going towards the pipes.
Is your car a 5.7 with smog regulations?
