Scarey Moment - input on problem needed
Traveling at 65/70 on beltway - slightly ease up on accelerator and feel and heard a hard thump - did not run over anything. The second time it did it the Check Engine light came on. only 5 miles from the house so I ran her to the drive way and shut it down. Flipped key back on and the service engine light did NOT come on. Would it hold a code if I take it to PEP Boys for a reading?
Any clue what might cause this?
=================
btw - last week during the heavy rain it acted like it was starved for air and shut itself down at 2 traffic lights. Kept the rev's high and got it home without any other issues

It will hold the code. Advance will scan it free. I think Pep Boys Charges. Find out the code, so we can figure what's up

Has the water in fuel light ever come on?
I susspect you have a bit of water in the fuel, and it caused a hick up. That would give you a temporary CEL, and clear once the key cycles.

No idiot lights are on - just filled up at a station that moves a lot of fuel - so hopefully that will help too. http://youtu.be/TwXwV_WQ-pE I'll change out the fuel filter ASAP and see if that helps any

A little dreary out this morning. On the bright side of things my truck should be in my driveway this afternoon. hopefully. I had it out with this guy last night and he said he had to shut down for a while to deal with personal issues and I told him I cant keep waiting so Either he brings me the truck or I go and get it. I dont care if it's not done, He loses out. I will figure it out or find someone thats actually reliable to finish it up.

Yea thanks, You said it. Well I will see whats what come tonight i guess. I will just be glad to have it home again. Motors in and it runs so if anything it should be minor stuff now.
