Check Engine Light Just Came On.

We just purchased this vehicle with 140,000 miles with repairs including timing belt, water pump,head gaskets. Also the catalytic converter was replaced. Out of nowhere the check engine light came on and stays on. Plus the cruise control light blinks and the cruise will not set.

Hi! Better bring your car to any car shop or even the dealer, they can use tools such as an OBD reader to check what fault codes are causing the check engine light.
