Default MIL light on, car wanting to stall, vibrates on acceleration, help!!! >>
I drove home at 30 miles/hr to avoid the vibration when I accelerate. On idling, RPM fluctuates but car doesn't stall. Light is solid, but flashes when I accelerate, which could be a bad catalytic converter according to manual. Any ideas? Can I drive the car to a garage or should I have it towed? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Probably bad coilpacks. I'd stop driving it so your catalytic converter isn't ruined.

Classic CP failure. Don't drive it.

Thanks. I drove it home at 30 miles/hr for about 7 miles. Hope I didn't damage anything.

As long as you stayed mostly below the point where the CEL was flashing it shouldn't be bad

I just installed new spark plugs at indie shop. Could that be the cause?
