Well School was over, and I fired her up. I noticed that the serive engine light stayed on. :scratch:
While it was idling it suddenly began feeling lumpy, It was kind of boucing around. The odd thing was that the engine sounded perfect with no signs of missing or anything, it was all in feeling.
While driving it it took forever for the revs to drop, it seemed very lazy, all this with no sounds out of order. At idle it would get lumpy again. The drive was short so I got home by taking it real easy.
Now I need to take it to the dealership to see whats going on. This is really weird for this to happen all of a sudden when my car has been strong since right now. Even when I went to school it still was smooth. Odd that when school was over it begins acting up. :scratch:
Well lets see what up.

thanks, lets see what they pull out. I'm real curious on what it may be. No real big worries due to the beautiful warranty, so I have my peace of mind.
My service is in 2 hours and I can't wait to be running her strong again. Car probably got mad at me for babying her lol.
I'll let you guys know tonight.

Sounds like possibly a bad throttle position sensor. Good luck with it, hopefully they get you right back on the road

Well I'm back with a strong pony.
To get to the point it was a faulty Injector and spark plug on cylinder 3. They replaced it, and now it's running real good. They were barely perfoming so it was acting like a miss, but at the same time noises weren't totally obvious. Due to this miss it was running rich for safety, and causing revs to be a bit sluggish with the whole combo.
I got an oil change done as well, so she's good as new
