Default Check Engine Light

I have a 1997 Ford F-150 with a 5.4L engine. The truck has 270,000 kms on it and up until now it has been running great. While driving it today the truck developed a shutter upon acceleration and runs very rough at idle. The 'check engine light' also came on at the same time this problem started. Any suggestions as to where to start diagnosing this problem? Any input would be great.
Thanks
Howard
