Check Engine Light after getting gas??

In my 1992 9000, non-turbo 5-speed, I just stopped for gas. The tank was low, and I put in 4-5 gallons. I've run the tank low MANY times, so this isn't new. On startup, I went to pull out of the gas station and had a little sputtering on revving the motor. I figured that it might have been VERY low on gas, and was almost ready to quit when I got new gas, so once new gas was in, it was just getting back up to speed.
The sputter cleared up after a couple of revs, and the check engine light kicked on. The car seems to run perfectly; it had trouble coming back to 1,000rpm idle, but its fine now. It went from running perfectly to throwing a light by simply adding gasoline. NOTHING else. I'm not sure what happened, and I'll have to get the code pulled, but has anyone had this happen before?
I've had the check engine light come on when I straight-up RAN OUT of fuel one day; it sensed low fuel pressure somehow, and about 1/4 mile later....dead.
