Re: 94 Grand Am Service Engine Light When At Idle

Are there any idle problem besides just the check engine? Such as stumbling?

The car will run fine up until the ligt come on then it runs a bit sluggish at low speeds

If the light is coming on it is storing a code. Have you had the codes pulled down to see what it is registering?

I would guess a partially failing alternator. I was getting Service Engine Soon, sometimes ABS light. Finally, the alternator died and stranded me in front of FedEX Forum in Memphis, TN and have it towed. I got the alternator tested and confirmed dead this time and got a new one and it was fixed.
