Default Anyone had this problem???

This morning my '01 Coupe (1700 mile/no mods) started running like it was a carbureted engine on a cold morning, except it never warms up. Didn't have time to check codes - late for work. The only warning I got was a couple of times yesterday it was harder to start than it has been. Took a couple of tries before starting, but after that ran fine. It will start, but does not have enough power to drive safely. Will probably need towing to the shop, and that really scares me. Any body had a problem like this and how was it resolved? Any specific advice about towing? Thanks in advance for your valuable input. :eek: :eek:

I'm no mechanic, but if I were you, I'd check your intake for any air leaks first. If everything looks good, then your MAF or your ECM may be bad...take it to the dealer and let them worry about it! Get a flatbed for the towing!

Cheers,

Steve

Battery and alternator would be the first two things I would check.
