I think I broke my car.

Driving home on the freeway I dropped it into 4th to pass someone and think I pushed her too hard. After that pass it's been sputtering when I push the gas pedal, sometimes dying when moving slow. The CEL popped up but I haven't checked the code(s) yet, just wondering what I should be prepared for upon further inspection. It's a '92 with a 5 speed out of an 04 2.5rs, 107k on the clock.

Re: I think I broke my car.

MAF will do that. Also fuel pump, or clogged fuel filter. Maybe you sucked something into it that it didn't like.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, scotch in one hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming HOOOOYA !!!!!

Re: I think I broke my car.

It was raining kinda hard when it happened but I didn't go through any big puddles. I'm going to check around this site to see how to get the code and go from there.

Re: I think I broke my car.

Pulled three codes. One for the EGR and both O2 sensors (32,34,37). The sensors are both less than a year old and I just had a new EGR solenoid installed. Sounds like the EGR took a crap, again....
