check engine light 535i

[misfortune]

meh.

What are the most common causes of a check engine light? Its been stalling out while idling if I push in the clutch just enough while my foot is off the gas. :\

I thought it was my stuck throttle cables causing all the stalling, but would jacked up throttle cables cause a check engine light?

throttle position sensor?
oxygen sensor?

do a stomp test.
