    Hello everyone. Been visiting this forum off and on for the last year since I bought my 2004 GLX 4motion (2.8 V6 30v) and have found it a wealth of wisdom and information. Two days ago I started my car and the CEL started flashing. Idle was a rough so being home i immediately shut it down. I...
