About 2 months ago I was on a freeway, 110, cruise on, felt a slight miss-fire, then the "traction control off" light came on, engine felt like probably 2 cylinders had cut out, then engine check light came on. I pulled over, shut it down, restarted, problem still there. Limped home on what felt like 6 cylinders.
Next day I disconnected the battery for around 12 hours, reconnected, started it up, fine. Changed the spark plugs (140k on the clock), no more issues, apart from a very slightly rough idle, so slight that I wondered if it was always like that to start with.
Wind the clock forward to last night, Mrs was driving, got home, just rolling into the garage, TC light comes on again. Then engine light.
I'll be trying a scan tool on it later today, but just wondering if this sounds familiar to anyone? Any ideas? To me it seemed as though the ECU picked up on a slight miss-fire, then shut a pair of cylinders down.....
