So my car has been flawless until I actually had to use it this morning to drive to a client meeting. Very odd, it was jerking back and forth at partial throttle, especially at low speeds, unless I used manual gear selecting mode. It threw a CEL on the way home. Any guesses as to what it will be? I find out at my service appointment tomorrow.
Jag tech on the forum's response:
Based on your description, it appears to be a misfire due to a failing or failed coil unit(s) that may be caused by engine oil seeping into the spark plug well.
Under no circumstances operate the vehicle if the MIL if flashing as damage to the catalytic converter(s) is occurring.
