Default HELP!!!!!

Drove car to work today and just before I got here it kinda stumbled and started running rough then wouldn't stay running. It will start and run but really rough. If I keep the throttle depressed it will run but rough.
Any ideas??? I am going to drop it off at dealer on my way home if I can get there since its only 2 miles away.

It could be misfiring due to a Coil pack going bad. Of course your dealership will find out what is going on and fix it for you. ;)

You should have some trouble codes on the PCM.
