    Engine Light

    Just this morning, upon starting the car I get the Check Engine Light and the exhaust is giving out on intervals making the whole car vibrate continuously.
    What could be the problem? Has one of the cylinders given out? I'm hesitant to drive it all the way to the garage? Shak?

    I think the engine is misfiring, experts can give more feedback.

        Car won't start with a busted CPS, spark firing order will go haywire.
        Could be a busted coil.

            i think its the the coils . Usually Small intervals, coil number 5. Big intervals and misfiring coils 4 and 6. I had the same problem and Ayham (big big thanks) helped me fix the problem. Thanks god it was not my ECU. However I drove it for a week before replacing the coil.(mine was coil #5 on my ci, and it was #4 and #6 on my xi.). Good luck Man!!:wiggle:
