engine light is on !! help!

I changed my oil two weeks ago along with my airfilter; at that time i was 2K miles over the recommended oil-change milage.

two weeks after the oil change, now that my next oil change milage is approaching:
(1) my engine light has turned on continuously, at low and high rpms i have a rough or sputtery acceleration,
(2) the sputtering and roughness occur only if i am accelrating slowly, it doesn't occur for example when i flore it.
(3) when the is idle it doesn't sputter; once put into drive it immediatly supperts and if no gas is given then it stalls.
(4) All the fluids have been recenlty changed, the air intake system are good, no prior problems with the car at all,
(5) the car is at 140K miles.

please help?

if you are getting a check engine light your ECU should be throwing a code. Find a haynes manual or someone who is able to check which fault code. that will help you poinpoint the problem.

I had the same problem with my '00 echo. It felt like it was going to stall at lights and stop signs. Changing the mass air sensor did the trick. I would have the codes read first before doing anything, just in case...
