What would cause my check engine light to come on as soon as it seems to warm up. The temp gauge is usually at the 4th tick mark.

An engine sensor fault. To find out which one you need to get the code read. We can help you more if we had the codes.

Many Auto Parts houses will read the code at no charge - call around to see which ones will do it. Other places to get the codes reset are state emissions testing sites. As a sideline the ones here in Georgia will read your codes, reset service lights, and clear any stored codes for $10-25.
