If so, can someone tell me where it is, and possibly where I can go to find out what the number means? ....
The check engine light is for emmisions related faults that are picked up by the various sensor on the engine. A common failure with all cars at higher mileage is the O2 or oxygen sensors. This is probably what yours is. If you have the V6 it may also be clogged EGR ports which can be cleaned pretty easily. On the 95s you can put a jumper wire (or paperclip) between 2 pins on the diagnostic connector and count the CEL flashes to determine the code. Autozone sells a "scanner" for about $30 to read the codes, and may have one available to scan cars so they can sell sensors. (Try calling and asking around) The diagnostic connector is at the end of 5 wires hanging just behind the driver side strut tower in the engine bay. Post your error code and someone will be able to point you in the right direction.
