OK, I'll speculate - burning smell and CEL on could mean the catalytic converter has gone south.
Try to get us the codes.
I also had a lot of corrosion from battery acid build up on the battery terminals. Could that have possibly threw off the diagnostic reading? I did clean the terminals really well, started the car and the engine light did not come on. Then a couple of hours later when I started it the light came back on. What should I expect that this is?
If the van is running fine, I would not be concerned.
Also, can I still get the codes to come up if the check engine light isn't presently coming on
Any OBD-II reader/scan diagnostic tool should be able to pull any stored codes, even if the CEL is not currently on.

When you pulled the tranny, you should have checked the flexplate. Mine was cracked all around the bolt holes and rotated ~20 deg, which you wouldn't see without removing the clamp ring. I understand a common problem. My engine had ~170K miles. Indeed, I would always replace the rear engine seal during this job, so you would have seen that.
Also, radio/CD does not work. And remote door lock does not work, and the door lock button does not work unless engine is on. All other components work as usual.
Any hints greatly appreciated...Emissions? O2 sensor?
Help.
