Really bummed. :(

When to go for a quick drive and something was noticable wrong. At startup, idle seemed low and quivering. Hestitated accelerating. Few blocks away, the check engine light came on. Thought I might have got some bad gas as I filled up (premium as usual) at an unfamiliar station a few days ago. Few more blocks to fill up from half at the usual station. No effect... limped home. Everything under the hood is stock; nothing unusual from temp gauge. To the dealer again tommorrow as I was just there last week for an oil change.

Just glad that at 31k anything found should be covered. Still, anyone want to cheer me up?

Most part store will check for free, just be sure to tell them not to clear the code.

Possibly a MAF sensor or IAT . Shouldn't be much of a problem.

Dealer replaced fuel injector #8. Runs like new again. :)

Anyone use any injector additives???

No. I took the name from our pet Chihuahua that looks just like the Taco Bell dog. He thinks he's a big dog and will go nose to nose to any in the neighborhood. Didn't think is was my kind of dog at first, but the kids and him are inseperable.
