Yesterday my Check Engine and TCS lights came on together. Idle seems OK, but some stumble on acceleration. Have been using mid grade gas for awhile. Any ideas??

Hi Axedon,

The check light indicates something is wrong with the engine management system. TheTCS may or may not be related to the problem so it is best to get a scan to find out which item is not funtioning as required.

the tcs light is just a byproduct of the check engine light. the tcs' function relies on the engine and cannot operate when the engine is not running correctly. most common cause of this combination is a misfire.
when was your last tune-up?
