fix all the nessesary things like plugs, distributor....try cleaning the maf and the throttle body.....then if the problem is still there go to a tech.

Clogged cat converter?? But I agree with what was said above, do the basics first. Tune up, plugs, wires, cap and rotor (if it's got that ), and then drive it around. If its better the light will go out after a day or two. If the light is still on then get it scanned and see what you have for a code.

i would take your car to a tech or some place that can do a diagnostic check...go and see what it pulls up on the computer first before doing anything....
