On an '86 (or any car with LH 2.2) the Check Engine light is quite stupid - it does not really have the capability to diagnose any real problems. The light will only come on when a major component is defective (like the O2 sensor or AMM) or when there is a noticable mixture problem. I would suggest investigating first the O2 sensor and AMM, then look into other potential mixture problem area, like injectors or ignition system. It could, in theory, also be a loose connection, so it may be worth double checking all fuel injection systems.
In my experience, I'd bet on the AMM...
