I had a similar problem with my '82 Firebird.  It was only a few months old
and the check engine light came on.  I took it back to the dealer and they
pulled a little knob (unfortunately, I forget where) and the light flashed
a code.  The code said that the oxygen sensor was bad along with another part
(could have been the computer...).  When replaced, I haven't had the problem
since.

I would suggest that you sneak into an auto parts store or local library
and look up the section regarding the light.  There is probably some switch
that you too can pull and get an answer to your problem (albeit the light
will probably have to be 'on' (indicating a fault) at the time).

                        Hope this helps,
