The coil pack is most likely faulty (have it tested), misfiring is causing the check engine light and this is likely cause by raw fuel being dumped into the exhaust.
Also see the recommendations in the answer here http://www.justanswer.com/chevy/65xhj-chevrolet-cavalier-ls-chevy-cavalier-2003-2-2-ltr-no-previous.html which should also apply to your case.
