Went for a dive today b/c it is nice and sunny. After about 40 minutes of all being well the CEL came on and very shortly thereafter engine started running very roughly. Like almost rattle your teeth rough. I was only a few minutes from home so made it there and shut the car down. Had a look and nothing horrendous was obvious. So I restart the engine and ...... smooth as silk, no CEL. Tried a couple more restarts and all seems well. Any ideas? Should I worry?
