Got in the car after sitting for about 3 days. Started it and it started "weak", puttering a little - basically running rough. Service Engine Soon light was lit. I shut it down, waited about 30 seconds and started it again. This time it started normal, ran great and no SES light was on. Drove it to the end of my street, and the SES light came on. Drove it home and parked it. Drove the wife's vehicle to work, where I am now...

- Should I chance driving it to O'Reiley's Auto Parts to get it diagnosed with the plug-in deally? Then, depending on what it is, drive it to the dealership about 30 miles away?

OR

- Should I just get it towed to the dealership? Towing is free to me and it's still under warranty.

What are the most common SES activators??

Sounds good, I'll drive it to the parts store and get the code checked. Then prob drive it to the dealership tomorrow.

(I think the e46 has a dedicated "check gas cap" indicator lamp, so I don't think that's it, but I'll check anyway. The car just flipped 30k, so it might be an O2, but that seems a little early even for that.)

Thanks guys, as always!!
