bad rex!
ok, i live in ohio and it was cold yesterday so i let my car warm up for about 15 minutes and when i went outside i noticed it was running just the slightest bit rough. when i got in it the check engine light was flashing and i kept it in nuetral and gave it a little gas and all it did was stutter and shake the steering wheel... ive had the damn thing for less than a year and have had it towed twice cuz it was flooded(my dad did it the first time by not letting it warm up, and it was b/c of me being in a hurry and it being cold the 2nd time...), i dont wanna have to have it towed again. my friend mentioned that it could be injectors, what do you guys think? thanks.

I had the same thing happen with my 2004 with only 30,000 miles on it. It was my plugs and coils. If the dealership gives you a hard time you might have to do what I did, Which is take it to another garage and tell them to check the plugs and coils.... I did that and they said there was so much carbon buildup on them (the spark plugs) it was no wonder the car was having misfire problems. I took it back to the dealership a week out of warrenty and made them replace it on their dime. Car runs like it's brand new.
