its broken

Last night my car started idling funny. It seem like my engine was fighting to idle. This morning I started up my car and I could tell the problem was still there but hoping it was just a fluke. I managed to make it half way down the street and my engine check light started flashing on and off then my car died. I made it back to my house and had to ride my bike to work today. Could anyone diagnose my issue without checking the cel? I dont think I have a chance in hell to drive my car to autozone or advance auto to check my cel.

RE: its broken

you can do a self check. there is a tread in here somewhere for a DIY.

otherwise could you explain what the ccar was doing, noises maybe. is it leaking anything?

RE: its broken

You could get a ride to autozone and rent an OBD2 scanner from their loaner tool thing. Pay like $30 and bring it back and they give you a refund. That'd be my first move.
