Default sputtering and service engine soon light

for some reason yesterday my car began sputtering so thnking I bought some bad gas or something I bought some gas treatment and fuel injector cleaner. well it continued doing the same thing today but the service engine soon light came on flashing a few times and then went off. I guess I'll have to take it in to get checked but any idea what it might be off hand?

could be spark, a vaccum line or something of that nature like o2 sensor or IAC getting ready to take a crap, mine stalls every once in a while the car is cold or is sitting at a very long light.

ok thanks for the input..I guess getting the codes read would be the first step and go from there.
