OK... here is my problem... a couple days ago it started to idle rough... ran fine though... today the service engine soon light flashed on and off... turned the car off... went and got a hair cut... started the car and it would die unless I keep my foot on the gas... but the service engine soon light was not on... got home took my foot off the gas and it stayed running... but idle a little rough... any help would be appreciated... thanks Rick
Also, if the light isn't on... will it store the codes

Reason: its a 2.5
OK went Advance but the service engine liht wasn't on... so no codes... figured I'd change the fuel filter... change it... car ran good for a minute... now the service engine light is on steady not just flashing.... is the service engine light the same as check engine light? thanks Rick
OK figured it out.... but now it idles a little smoother(still rough) and stalls when coming to stops... guess I'll give it a day or two... I took the cables off the battery and it reset the light.... hopefully it won't come back on and everything works out...
If the check engine light comes on but then goes off, it should still have a code in the memory. This should at least lead you in the direction if it is fuel or electrical.
Thats what I was thinking... but it didn't... well some good news... the light started flashing again... hopefully come on steady again then hopefully it will spit out a code... maybe I should run some more Sea Foam thru the intake??? but that will have to wait until tomorrow... have to work tonight
OK thanks... now I haven't been able to find out anywhere... but is the service engine soon light the same as the check engine light on these... cause I haven't seen a check engine light... thanks
