Welcome to the forum. The early SOHC 4L engines (before 2001 I think) have a TSB on the cam tensioners. Other than that they are great. The previous version of the 4L with OHV are pretty much bullet proof and will run almost forever.

The check engine light can be anything from the gas cap not being on right to a bad oxygen sensor to major engine trouble. If it's running and sounding fine than it's probably something minor. You should pull the trouble code to get an idea of what's wrong.

Welcome to Explorer Forum! I would also get the code read. That way we can better help you fix the problem.
