    I was driving home today and I stopped at giant eagle and my cars
    rpm went down to around 500 and the lights dimmed like it was going to give out! So I shut it off for 5 minutes and continued to drive home, 3 minutes later it did it while driving and boom my service light came on(. I am hoping that I need a tune up like new wires plugs and coils! Any other ideas or do you think that may have caused it I mean I have had the car for a year and never got around to a tune. Please help my GTP!!

    Ok so I took it up to auto zone and got the code P0101. I drove home and it died on me for the first time ever Then I took off the MAF and cleaned it although it seemed to look brand new Then popped it on drove around for 5 minutes and my engine light shut off BUT When it idles it is a bit rough not as smooth as I would Like it to be. What are some ways I can clear up my cars idle? Thanks

    keep driving it and see if it gets any better, if not a new MAF will make it idle real nice
