First time here and want to say, Thanks to all. Idle goes up to 1000 and down to about 500. Sounds like it wants to die. But not all ways!! Engine like came on awhile back with P1131,1132,1134. Did plug change #1 was burt down to a needle in the middle no porcalen left. Did change on all. Ran good but still idle prblem with missing. Anyone with any answers?? Thanks

Sounds like a misfire, probably due to a vacuum leak. Have you inspected all the vacuum lines? How about the intake air tubing? Was any service performed just prior to the issue starting that may point you in the right area to start your search?

Do you mean "Check Engine Light" is this is your problem make sure you have good gas and gas cap closed properly.

Now you need to disconnect both battery cables and leave it over night. Minimum 12 hours and then clean battery terminals and reconect . This will allow the car computer to reset and then hopefully the problem is gone!
