I have had the check engine light come on a couple of times after stalling it, and then doing a quick re-start.

Generally, if the light comes on and goes off next time you start the car, I wouldn't be overly worried.

If it stays on, or comes on regularly, then you need to find out why.....

had the same problem tappn 120kph after a play, was the alternator clutch, it was seizing up, causing a bit of an overheating issue that went unnoticed, this caused the engine light to come on, wasnt hard to sort in the end, new alternator
