Every time the check engine light comes on, it should store a code in memory for a while (at least a couple dozen starts), even after the light it goes out. You can read the codes yourself or take it to a mechanic. If it just happened recently, stop by an AutoZone and ask them to read your check engine code history. If it's cleared out already, wait until right after the next time it comes on.
The problems could be several different things, and almost anything, but this will help us to narrow it down. The infrequent nature could indicate something intermittent such as an oxygen sensor, and the bucking might have been something like a throttle body malfunctioning. Post back when you have codes for us.
