I am assuming because of the cold weather my gas lines might be frozen? The car barely responds to the throttle, like it is not getting enough gas. But what really frightens me is that flashing CE light. Any ideas? its not warming up for 2 days and I need the car. I added stuff to the gas and have a full tank. is it ok to drive?

 

Flashing CE light usually means something bad. I wouldn't drive it until you can pull some codes.

 

The flashing light means service now, and the lack of throttle is because you are in limp mode. Iwould guess it is misfiring.

 

flashing MIL actually means that there is a cat damaging situation. This usually means raw fuel in the exhaust caused by anything frommisfires to just running to rich

 

Park it. get the codes.

 

I cant get the codes unless I drive it to autozone 15 miles. Any other solutions? DRive it there? Let it sit until it gets warmer out?

 

you should be ok as long as it havent already been driving it like that for a while and you only drive where you need to

 

so what are the possibly outcomes if my engine is misfiring? new engine. 10,000 dollars repairs? is this a HUGE deal?

 

Probably $200 for new coils. I drove mine for a week an a half misfiring on two cylinders and the cat was fine.

 

alright good. just a few more quick questions. by cat do you mean catalytic converter? what is the MIL? someone suggested there is raw fuel in the exhaust, is this because one component in the gasoline may have froze while another has not, causing poor acceleration and CE lights?

Or could this be something entirely different? I.E... I have no oil and im running the engine and my car is going to explode?
