help w/ check engine light

I just got a check engine light. My car idles at like 250-500 rpm. With the AC it bogs from 0-250. I just had my alternator replaced and just checked it and i'm getting power from it. ANy ideas?

did you try to pull a code? I'd think you of all people would do that before posting on here. Maybe you did and it was an unkown code.
