Exclamation WTF?? Engine light!!

Ok its 12:54am I've just got home from work which is 5minutes away, yes 5 minutes.. Anyways I pull out on the main drag and was going to get myself a little relaxin juice at one of the watering stations. The roads clear and I decide to give the girl some pedal and suddenly I get this hesitation Now I stop at a set of lights and I see in the rear view mirror alot of exhaust spewing out, a hell of alot more then normal!!

My car is acting wierd, suddenly the check engine light comes on and the engine feels like its shaking it certainly didn't feel right.. So I get the green and drive on, really careful even if I am 3 blocks away from home now. She jerks now just a bit as I drive like I'm not getting gas or air or something.. I pull off again pop the hood, smell the exhuast to see if I have a crack in the block or some ****!! No wierd smell commin outta the ass end, nothing dripping under the engine.. I get back in the car, the engine light is now off so I go home but not before I go for a little drive.. NO PROBLEMS... Now I did change the oil this past weekend but sure didn't it up as its the easiest thing to do soo beats the **** outta me... Sorry this went long but its fresh in my headscratching skull..

Any idea happened???? Funny thing I was thinking about the SMART car before I got into mine.. Maybe my car picked that up and said soo your thinking about another car eh?? well think about this..

well if it runs good now and the cel is off it might have been a "hicup" just keep an eye on it and check the oil level just in case
