    All of a sudden

    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?

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

    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.
