Check Engine light on an 89 9000S

I recently purchased an 89 9000S with 170,000 on it. It ran great but it was obvious it hasn't been serviced in a while. I took it to a car wash and cleaned the engine. I wasn't very careful about what got wet. It stumbled on the drive home (about 2 miles) but seemed okay. I went out later to go to the store (about 1 mile) and it struggled badly. It stalled several times and I was fortunate to make it home. When I pulled in the driveway smoke (electrical smell) came from the engine bay and also into the cabin. I waited until the following day and tried again. It started and drove but the check engine light comes on. AFter about 5 minutes of driving it goes off. I have repeated this several times since. Any guesses as to what I may have screwed up? I plan on a tune up, air filter, etc and will cross my fingers that these might help.
