Rough idle/check engine light....

when I started her the other day. The message center said something to the effect of driving it directly to the nearest service center. It felt like only half of the cylinders were firing.

Anyway, I shut her off and mentally panicked. I then re-started and there were no problems or lights. I flipped through the computer and it said there were no messages.

The only thing I can think of is that it was really cold (low 30/Really cold for Florida), and that somehow effected it??

Could be a momentary miss that threw the code, drive it and see if it returns.

I have been driving it the last couple days, and no problems. Can't get that perma-grin to go away!

But I thought I should at least ask the board, see if it was a problem in the making as it were.

Thanks
