sigh.. CEL

car running fine with no problems.. got home from work last night, washed it and stored it for the weekend... (change in weather overnight.. lots of rain and overcast now). go to run some errands today and about a mile from home, the CEL comes on, but car is running fine. It is a solid CEL and not flashing...

I am trying to get a hold of a OBD scanner at the moment but I am nervous driving with a CEL on.. is it safe/stupid/bad for engine if i drive with a CEL?

i have noticed lately that sometimes, about 10 seconds after starting the car, the idle would "hunt" for a second or two around 500rpms and then slowly "normalize" itself and run fine...

please don't say MAF
