Check engine light

My check engine light came on for the second time. The first was right after I got gas and didn't tighten the cap all the way. So I tightened the cap but the light did not reset itself, so I disconnected the battery. A month goes by and then the problem happens again. The car idled roughly and didn't run smoothly. Any ideas?

Is your gas cap loose again?
Have you tried resetting the CEL since the last time it came on?
What was going on when the CEL came on? (were you driving?, had you just started the car?, etc.)

Might be just air in the fuel line, or it could be something else as well.
