My car is acting funny. On Saturday it stalled as I was braking to wait in a turn lane behind another car. In a matter of a second or two of being stopped, it just cut out on me. I thought that it was a fluke or that I had somehow turned the key wrong or something - until it did the same thing to me today. Again as I was braking, it started idling really hard, the engine light started to flicker, and it felt like it was going to stall. So I took my foot off the brake and lightly put it on the gas instead. That helped, but as soon as I tried to brake again (I was at a stoplight) it started idling hard again. So I threw it into park and started revving the engine to make sure it didn't stall out. It did that until shortly after I had picked Warren up. Then it was alright again.
So I'm going to have to take it in to the shop tomorrow to see if they can check the computer to see why the engine light came on. Hopefully they don't charge me, and hopefully it's not there long because I was planning on ordering one more copy of my credit report (I ordered it from two companies and I want to get it from all three before I freeze my accounts) and I can only do it in person.
Definitely not my day.
