Except the cat. converter, I just replaced the converter a few months
ago, what else can cause the check engine light on again?

TWO HUNDRED things can turn the MIL on. Get the code read. It consists of a
letter and four numbers. (e.g.: P0300, P0402, P1457, etc)

AutoZone or PartSource will do it for free. Report back here.

Probably O2 Sensor - likely heated it up when the converter was replaced.
Just a guess though. Find a place to do OBDII and get the code.

Hundreds of things can turn the light on. You need to read out the
error codes to make progress.

Thanks to all gurus
To get a code reading is not that easy, some place charge $50 just for
reading, some place like Advanced Auto Parts, it says "Free code reading
for customers", when you actually went to the store and require a help,
you would find nobody willing to help you.
So I let my mechanic fix it, it was EGR problem, so he replaced the EGR
system for a total of $180.
I am thinking about buying a code reader device, or is there any device
that can connect to PC and get the code out? I think the code reader is
becoming a popular and necessary device to average people.

You can buy an OBC II reader for just over $100. Also, get the manuals my
1999 RL has set intermittent codes before. I have saved enough to pay for
the reader and the manuals many time over.
