Default 2000 Accord Lx Idle Problems

This morning when i was driving I noticed shaking and loss of power.
When it is at idle, it shakes bad, and when i start to go it shakes for a period of time.
The Check engine light does come on over time.
This happend only this morning.
The sound of the engine, isnt the best.

I would like to know whats going on.

Thanks!

Get yourself over to Autozone and ask if they can scan the ECM for stored codes. It's a free service, so they should do it gladly.
Let me know what they say.

You may have a bad Spark Plug, Plug Wire and/or Distributor Cap; and a quick look might be worth your time. Have it scanned anyway

The ECM/TCM is located under the carpet just up from the passanger's feet. It sits in a pocket in the firewall/floor.
AutoZone (DeathZone as I like to call them) will know where to find the diagnostic tap.
