No, unfortunately.........and the car is getting worse..With the situation I'm in I'm really relying on my bird to get me around, its all I have. I did however find out that it might be a problem with a spark plug...sure enough upon checking one of them was cracked, so I replaced them all...worked alright and the check engine light went off for about 2 hours I would say....then it started in all over again. Any advice??? Thanks in advance!

You need to have the codes scanned. You can go to a parts store like advance/autozone and they will do it for you.

Yea, the check engine light comes on for a reason. You can't just look at the light and then ask for solutions to your problem. Get the codes read, and then perhaps we can help you a bit more.
