Hi Jim, thanks for the reply.
A little more detail: I let the car cool down for 3 hours and then tried
it again. It started up fine, as usual and seemed normal for about 2
blocks of driving (very little warmup time.) After that it felt like it
was running on four cylinders, stumbling and sounding flat. I turned
around and went home, but back in the garage it seemed to clear up an run
OK. At least I was able to free rev the motor to 5k or so. I may take it
for another spin in a minute and look for the knock sensor under the hood.
I have some tools, I might also pull the plugs and see if they look OK.
I don't know how to pull the codes, I will do a search and see how that is
accomplished, that might tell me a lot!
Thanks,
-Joel.
