Thread: missfire HELP!!

We got more snow & my GP is at my wife's work parking lot. We haven't been back to scan it.

Will we avoid TC System issues by turning it off with the console button so it is driveable - skipping or not?

the wheels should spin freely like you hit the button to turn it off.

IDK happened. The car got tuneup parts & I drove it. Then it sat. Hours later we leave the garage, hop on the hwy, & a new screwup happens.

If the TC button will cancel out any new issues then maybe I can get it home.

Starting to hate this car. Who needs half of this complicated electronic crap anyway? People who can't drive.

THANKS!

its all disabled because the lights are on. wont work again till you find whats wrong and fix it.

sometimes you can park the car shut it off, open the door, then restart the car, and the light will be gone. and come back later on or asap. depending on whats wrong with it.

Ok, still snowing this afternoon so I left it parked. Tomorrow should be nice out and we can see what is lit on the dash & read anything stored.

Good times!

Actually, we've got a NA 3.8L. I accidentally posted in here because of the P1361 P1362 codes the OP posted about.

There were no codes (just engine skips) until the shop said maybe you should swap out the ICM. I didn't know about the PCM, & don't think he did either. The modules have been flashed for updates, new plugs & wires, and it still has a part throttle cruise skip that I swear feels like bad timing.
