Default check engine light ordeal
Okay, as the topic reads "check engine light ordeal", I've been having a little problem figuring out what it could be....at first I thought it could be spark plugs, a code reader help out and stated I was getting misfires from cylinders 1,2,3,and even 4......nks idium plugs replaced my old ones.....still check engine light is on....gas cap was a negative.....my baby idles regular at around 1k but it sounds low with a more noticeable, it thats a word, virbration.....I'm led to believe I have an ignition complecation but still I wanted to ask you guys before I made a move.....car has 69kmiles and is baby'd....thanks guys sorry for grammar errors and misspelled words.....

Move/copy this to the Florida forum for more exposure! 69K miles and new plugs - sounds like carbon buildup to me...
