Engine Performance problem
2003 Ford Taurus 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic 93000 miles

Hi,
my care has been idling rough when I come to a stop at a red light. it will usually go completely dead at a stop unless I put it in park. I put in some fuel treatment but this has not helped. Please let me know what you think the problem may be. Also, my check engine light is on.

Thank you,

Ashley
