service engine soon light is on

[Gismo R]

The other day I was starting my car and you know how you have to have the clutch completely pressed to the floor for it to start? Well I slipped a little and the clutch came up just enough to stop the engine from starting right in the middle of it trying to start. This has happened before and I just started it back up and everything was fine. This time though, the damn "service engine soon" light comes on and has been on for about five days now. Everything is running just as it has since I bought it, it starts fine, pulls just as hard. The only thing I can figure is that it's a sensor thats gone crazy. Any other ideas on what it could be?
Thanks

BTW, it's a '97 SE for those of you that don't read signatures

first check ur ECU, see what the code gives u.  Then check out whatever it tells u to check out, and then reset the ECU if everything checks out fine.  Hopefully the check engine soon light wont come on again...
