ok newbie, first thing's first: find someone or some store with a code reader. get the code(s). then google:
OBD II codes
and then cross match the code to the problem.
come back, search for the specific code (i.e. 02 sensor, maf, etc), read the thread results and then go from there.

I agree with Bob, have Auto Zone check it out for you for free and post the codes here or ask them.

Like everyone else has said...
You can buy a cheap generic code reader off of Harbor Freight and it'll give you the code. It will also come with a small manual to give you the definition of the code. Just saying that you have a CEL is going to be VERY hard to diagnose without anything further.
I have had CEL experience with 4 different Toyotas and they were all unique problems ranging from a dirty MAF to a dying battery.
