Just tried to start the car ('98 passat) and there's some shuddering in the engine area + a blinking check engine light. Just had an oil change yesterday (Jiffylube). Car is at 100k Is it safe to drive? What's are some possible reasons for these symptoms and how expensive might it be to fix it? Thanks!! >Just tried to start the car ('98 passat) and there's some shuddering in >the engine area Misfire. > + a blinking check engine light. Misfire severe enough to threaten the catalytic convertor. >Just had an oil change yesterday (Jiffylube). > >Car is at 100k > >Is it safe to drive? At the risk of melting down the catlytic convertor. > What's are some possible reasons for these >symptoms Misfire -- can have many causes. > and how expensive might it be to fix it? Depends on cause. >Thanks!! Don www.donsautomotive.com Sounds like jiffy lube knocked a plug wire loose. Chris Thanks, Chris & Don. Will talk to Jiffy Lube and see. Although - I drove it for about an hour after the oil change and it was fine. then parked it overnight (for 12+ hrs) and then it started the shuddering. > Sounds like jiffy lube knocked a plug wire loose. > > Chris |
