i have an 01 protege that is having some problems. sometimes it runs perfect, other times i will start it and the check engine light flashes, and it runs like crap.. car/engine shakes, rough idle, wants to stall.
brought it to the dealer, they said "misfire" code was on, and it needed plugs, oil change, air filter.
had the work done to it, and it seemed fine.
day later same thing happened.
brought the car back, they said it ran fine.
day later, same thing again.
so now i am getting a code reader, and checking it myself.
the pcv valve rattles when i shake it. doesn't this mean it is still good? or could it be sticking intermittenly?
does anyone know a good resource for looking up trouble code meanings?
thanx for any help.
