2000 Honda Civic 28kmiles check engine light and shaking at idle HELP?
Last night, I was driving home when my cars check engine light came on. I immediately pulled over, and when I did, my car started shaking like crazy. There weren't any strange sounds coming from under the hood, and I was real close to home (maybe 5-10 minutes away) so I decided to carefully drive home. I noticed that when I accelerated, my car seemed to be working extra hard to get going. I was about half way there when I smelled burning (but no smoke). Eventually I drove it all the way home, it was too dark to see and really rainy/windy last night so this morning I went to check oil and coolant levels. I put coolant in and tried to start it and let it run for a while before I checked the oil (my owners manual said to do that) but my poor car died completely after about a minute. I started it again and it did the same thing. I checked the oil anyways, and the oil level was at about the 1st lil dot. I was going to take it in on Monday anyways to get a tune up and oil change, but now I have to get it towed in to get it checked out and fixed. does anyone have an idea of whats wrong? and how much do you think it'll cost to fix it?
