rough idle
Hello all.
My car has suddenly started idling very roughly. Driveability is unaffected. Sometimes the car will die at least once when I cold start it. The SES light comes and goes which is indicative of an intermittent problem.
The only way I know to pull the ECM codes is going through the dealer and they want $85!
Please Help.

Try an AutoZone, Advance Auto, or a local friendly mechanic (they will usually scan for free). Find out what the codes are, report them back here, and a vet will jump in with some heavy advice.

Autozone says they can't scan the codes on a vehicle older than 1996. Is that true?
A vacuum leak was my first thought so I checked all the hoses and they look fine. If it is a vacuum leak, it would have to be a manifold gasket or something along those lines.

I'm in Hillsboro, OR.
Anyone know of a nearby autozone who can help? Last year I tried a different autozone on TV highway but the guy said the computer was unresponsive and he couldn't connect to it. This really bothers me. I'm wondering if I need a new ECM.
