Now all the sudden while waiting for the lanes to open up my car starts dipping down just under 500rpm and running tougher. Then it threw a CEL. I pulled over and checked all my air hoses and the intakes, everything seems fine. I don't have a scanner so I can't pull codes right now. Any ideas off the top of your heads? I know it's not much to go on.

Misfire? Fouled plug?

Check the plug wires too...

I had this issue on my SRT where it would act like it wanted to stall. Turned out it was the plug wires, but I also had a fouled plug.

Thanks man I'll check it out. No misfires, but it still could be plugs or wires.

Make sure none of the wires are pinched or the rubber housing cut... it could be arcing on something too.

I think that's something I learned in my one semester of Auto waaayyy back in HS.

That or learned by experience on a friends car.
