Engine probem started to day
This afernoon, with almost 700 miles on the car, this is what happened.
Started my car after being parked for 10 minutes and the car started bucking. The engine light started flashing and the service traction system light came on. The car seemed to operate on half power. I called the dealer and told them I would try and get it back to them. I was 50 miles away on the turnpike. When I got the car to speed it was fine, but lights still on. When I would accelerate it was slow. Anyway got to the dealer and they quickly hooked up a computer under the steering wheel. It showed all kinds of problems......the mechanic took the engine covers off and found a loose wire on cyclinder 8. He reset it and then cleared all the codes on the computer. Problem solved....I hope.

OMG! I certainly hope so.
The last time my ride bucked like that, was when my youngest daughter gave my horse, Chuckles, sheep feed by mistake.
Man, and that bad gas afterwards, WHEW! Could've killed you!
Anyway, I hope you've seen the end of your troubles. And, I hope your C6's catalytic converter doesn't react as violently....
