hey all,
so I got the kiss of death for me today...the check engine light came on. with it, I noticed that the engine was kicking around and idling rough when stopped or in park. oil pressure is fine, and there isn't any loss of power at all. after I step on the peddle it all goes away and she drives fine. I drove down the shore today for about 2 hours with zero problems and after about a half hour I started her up with no problems again and drove for another half hour. she sat for maybe 2 hours and then started up fine but at a red light she starting idling roughly and the light came on. but only idling rough, nothing else. can anyone shed some light on this please as I am leaving for home Sunday and need to know if she is drivable without damaging anything.
thanks!
