At nearly 41k miles on my p5, I had my first CEL today, and it was a tad late. I was waiting on a hill at a light when I noticed that the car had started to shake a lot as if it was going to stall. I looked down and the RPM looked normal for idle (above 500, maybe 6-700). Taking off I almost stalled, had to rev it to nearly 4k RPMs to get the car going, and it made aweful sounds (though at the same time a bit nice like a boxer engine). The loss of power was crazy, it felt as if only half the cylinders were firing. I was near a mall, so I let the car sit while I was inside. When I cam back out it almost sounded normal at IBmM, b... i'll try to remember to finish this power later it's almost 4am and I have to get up at .... bah
