So at a traffic light less than 5 mins away from home my engine light came on at Idle... RPM less than 1000, Oil good, Gas good, Temps Normal...

So I decided to just park it and cab it home... Till I figure out what the deal is!

Symptoms: Engine Check Light > Rough Idle (At normal RPM), When pressing the accelerator lightly seem rough!

Note*** Timing Belt was done this past summer! 200o Teg LS

Any ideas anyone? Gimme some help before I call CAA to tow home 2 KMS

Check to see what code/CEL (Check Engine Light) your throwing.

I need some more info other than being at a redlight 5 min away from home.. did you run the car hard prior to??.. if its 5 speed did you miss any shifts badly? did you go through any large masses of water "big puddles" ? anything of that nature.. and if you did any of that.. could be an exhaust problem.. valve problems...caty. problem.. a ton of things.. my bet for you would be to go to a friend..or a guy your "in" with or anyone you know that has a OBD " On Board Diagnostic" system .. hook it up to your computer.. and it will let you know exactly whats wrong with the car Good luck bro

 

and btw... if you like your car... NEVER leave it anywhere farther than 500ft from you. Treat it like you baby... because alot of people like our cars and they wanna take them from us! .....Horrible people.....

 

Paper Clip test results in Code 73!

"73 random misfire cylinder 3"

Now What? Plugs and Wires?

Yah Manual Transmission, not driven hard prior! No puddles either...
