    Help!! SLUGGISH ENGINE

    The other day when i was on my way to the grand canyon for a backpacking trip my check engine light came on. My car just turned over 39000 miles right before it came on. Its a 2001 rolla. So when i got home i disconnected my battery to reset the computer and shut off the light, it went off, but the car seems be very sluggish and seems to be getting worse. Could my O2 sensor be going out? Plus, yesterday when i started it up to go to work and started to backup out of my yard it died on my. It acted like it didn't want to idle. Help!!!

    I'd have had that code checked before clearing it... sluggish can be caused by a few things:

    1) MAF dirty
    2) CAT clogged
    3) O2 hosed up
    4) Bad plugs

    the list goes on. i'd hope ya throw another CEL so you can have it coded and see what it really is.
