need you guys help again. So i was on my way to work this morning and my car just starts sputtering and i come to a light and the idle drops to 500 and after all that the service engine light comes on. On the way back home from work the idle went back to normal but the engine light stayed on. Can anyone give me some advice on this.

when my car hesitated, it was because i had an 02 sensor that was bad.
if you have a tuner it will tell you, or they sell obd readers. or im sure some mechanics have them too.

any autozone will read the code with a scanner and tell you what it means, for free!
