service engine light
So I have seen a few threads around this question, but not one that pin's it... So let me get started
I dont trust mechanic's at all, Every car Ive brought to different mechanics have always came back worse or not fixed at all... So I must do this my self so dont tell me to take it to the shop k thx.
Now to the car... Yesturday I was driving on a on-ramp and my car just stopped accelerating I was going 20 for about 3 minutes with my petal to the metal... after it finally kicked in my "Service engine light" came on... any ideas?
my car is a auto, its at 111k miles, and in about 200 more miles the oil will b at 3000 miles...

sorry ha, my computer messed up.. well i messed it up and i couldnt use it for a few days... but now then...
I went by their and they said cylinder 2 misfired, the guy said it could have just been a peice of trash or something that got stuck in the oil(?) or a spark plug misfire... so I rechecked my spark plugs that are only 300 miles old, they are still on the correct measurement... its not doing the problem any more, but im still conserned ... should i be?

check your wires. i had a tiny crack in one of my wires and it caused all sorts of misfires. it was so small i never noticed... then it started arcing and i ended up finding it on an inspection of everything after i put on my ported intake manifold.
i got a new wire from leftovers after my friend did a tune-up on his mother's eclipse and that fixed me right up!
