I hope your dealer is less than 22 miles away. Have them read the CEL under warranty, and hopefully they'll be able to find something wrong that can be fixed under warranty. Better now than next week.

cel still on less than a day

alright o the way to the movies down the street and every time i would get to 3000 rpm it would almost die ,but it didnt and would alow me to get back to 3000 rpm again and do the same thing.WTF! took a look at the plug wires and one was loose at the coil pack and there was heavy blue corrosion. cleaned it off tested the wires and. still doing the same thing.again WTF? think it may be the coil pack have replaced it before less than a year ago. would anyone know if there is a warrenty on this? dont have the reciept any more but did pay via credit card. a friend told me that dealers generaly dont warrentee electrical parts especialy if u r&r'ed yourself. any way to test the coil pack?

suggestions?

my suggestion is to find out the code of the CEL and take it from there... as others have said.
