    Default First CEL ever... 63000+ Miles

    So I got my first, odd CEL today...

    I was driving this morning on the highway while it was raining and when I downshifted to pass someone I got a weird, hesitation like feeling, like the engine dropped a bit or something, then the CEL came on.

    Right after the hesitation the car felt normal, for the rest of the day while the light was still on. I thought it might have been some water getting into the CAI but I parked it in a dry parkade for for like 2+ hours and it was still on after. Then once I got gas on the drive home, the CEL went away...

    I know the light comes on if your cap is loose but I haven't gotten gas in over two weeks or been anywhere near the cap... Plus why would the engine hesitate if it was the cap?

    Help, I'm scared...

    (P.S. I did get a rear motor mount installed and shifter spacers but that shouldn't trigger a cel should it? I mean I drove the car to the dealer with no rear mount without a cel)

    ALSO... might as well throw this in here. When my car is cold and I start driving I get a clear "shaking" sound from the front passenger wheel area when I shift and it goes away once the car warms up... thoughts? I think it's gotten worse since the mm install. It's only when I shift as well, not bumps, turns or anything like that. Just a bad sounding "shake" sound when shifting...

    remove the negative battery cable, leave it off for a few min, then put it back on. The CEL will go away. Where abouts do you live? Before you do this If your anywhere close I could run the codes and see what pops up.

    PM me if your in the south.

    Go to a shop and get it scanned, the light came on because something happened with one of the sensors causing the light and hesitation
    Speed Doesn't kill, it's the sudden stop at the end.

    They're certainly big, but I don't know if they are the BEST I've tasted.

    Check your plugs, sounds like a mis-fire to me.
