Rough Idle & Check Engine
My 2000 Acura TL has 109,000 miles on it. I have not replaced the timing belt yet.
Yesterday I started the motor and noticed a very rough idle. I drove up the street a block and it felt very rough and the check engine light came on and started to flash.
The car was almost out of gas, but I know I had at least 5 miles left in the tank to get to a gas station...so I didnt think it was a low fuel issue.
I turned off the motor and turned it back on and the idle was still rough and the check engine light came on as well as the traction control light. Does anybody know why??

Did you leave your parking break up no pun intended?
No, actually the best thing to do is go to Advance or Autozone and get the CEL (a.k.a. check engine light) tested. With the current information provided there is not much that can diagnose why the traction control light came on.
