  carwash check engine

Just went thru a car wash with an under carrage wash (Hey it was a free bee, a chick I know gave me a free wash number) I guess it may be a pretty expensive one now? While in the wach as the undercarrage system started moving under my truck I felt the truck start idleing real hard. I gave it a little gas as to keep it from satlling while in the wash. The check engine light came on imediately. It is still on but the truck seems to run just fine? Any suggestions? Was going to jack her up tomarroo and see if I see anything that may of blew off under the engine area. Its pretty cold right now so it will have to wait till the day tomarroo.
Anyone ever have anything like this happen to them?
Thanks Tom

Sorry to hear that hardwood
Yes I too had a dealer that could not fix a problem. Instead they pinged the trani, said," that should take care of it" I said, "take care of what? The problem is a vibration in the lower steering column, what does that have to do with the transmition? I went to anouther dealer and "presto" They found the problem, infact they told me that the lower steering columb bushing is a common fault and they see it often! So YES I too would find a dealer who actually cares.
My truck is a 99 and has 125K on it. The light just went off tonight so I am really hoping that something just got wet and now it dried out or something?

I kindly thank you all for taking your time to answer. As most of you all said (and I kind of figure or hoped anyway) the light did go off after a few trips. Every time I turn around this year it is something else not going right! This may be a turn for the better with the new year coming. By the way, I have not even had a single strike while fishing for trout in the last 5 days (about par for my course this year)Laughing out loud
Thanks again guys, I really appreciate it!
