Hey Guys,

Anyone experience a check engine light every now and then. Once it appears the car runs rough for a bit. Eventually it starts running fine again then the light disappears. It is very odd. Any insight would be appreciated. Thank you!

Have you read the codes to see what is causing the light? Autozone will do it for free if you don’t have a scanner.

The Autozone's around here stopped doing the free scans due to "liability" reasons.

when was the last time you replaced the battery in the car? May not be holding a charge.

How many miles on it? Timing chains been replaced yet? Get the code is really the first step...
