So my car was sitting for awhile and turned it on today and just started up fine but i notice she was idiling weird and the driver side exhaust was kind of shaking as well and i had a weird matching burn after too..... could it be an 02 sensor i got that replaced like not even a year ago.... OR is it an exhaust leak because the driver side exhaust sounds funny... need help guys.. o ya the engine light back so i guess i gotta grab those codes

is the Check engine light on yet? You should be able to take it to Autozone and have them pull the codes. Every time I have had anything like that, it has been a coil going bad for one reason or another.

get the code then you got your answer

how much are coils and are they hard to do?
 
k so it was cylinder 5 misfire.... i guess it was the moisture let the car warm up and got rid of the light and been fine since.... i guess it musta been the moisture since it was sitting outside all winter.... or i will have to change the spark plugs or the coils... so far so good...
 
you guys think i should change the plugs and coil on cylinder 5 or just see if it was just the moisture because its been fine since....
 
depends on how longs it been since you had a tune up, it can't hurt anything to change them out.
