check engine light on, car running funny....
So, i was in a head on collision with my crotch rocket May 15th.I was really lucky,
I hit a car head on while trying to pass a truck.The truck i was trying to pass sped up
and wouldnt let me pass.I hit hit the one car landed on the top of the roof, flew off that car
and got hit by the one behind it, bounced off that car and slid on the pavement.Flew 68 feet
from point of impact.I broke my pinky toe, and pinky finger, and have some road rash.Really lucky
I didnt have proper riding gear on, wife beater, shorts....Totalled out my bike and the first car i hit.
Needless to say i have been layed up for about 4 weeks now.I hobbled out to my venge today to see if it would start, since i havent drove it in awhile.It started right up, but the check engine light came on and the car was shaking, vibrating.Dont have any idea what the problem is.Its a 98 ES, and it ran fine 4 weeks ago.Any help would be great....thanks guys....

It may just be old gas, Zane. It's not always true, but a month is a long time for it to just sit there. Mine has started like that when I've gone TDY somewhere and come back only for it to run like she's about to die out.
Will it rev to higher RPMs just fine? Will it rev to higher RPMs and while holding it at say 3k-3.5k, does it sound normal?
Take it out on the highway/interstate and run some of that gas out and then fill it back up with some new gas.
I've also used injector cleaner. It will help dry up and condensation that may have accumulated in the tank.
Try that and let us know.
Dude, sorry to hear about your accident! Man, you're right, you were very lucky! The way I see it, you wore nothing to protect your body and the worse of it was a broken pinky toe and pinky. That right there my friend is lucky. Good to hear that your doing good after that. You have 8 more, spend them wisely, lol.
