Come on Robb! Maybe he was stuck at the mall parking lot...!

....I'm sure this will be deleted, but it's funny, right?!

The erratic idle could be a number of things. What's the code definition? Since I don't have a '95... Idle problem? TPS?

Upon further investigation, I gather that there is no code 17? Possibly a code 71, which I think is EGR related?

Have you tried disconnecting the battery for a few minutes to see if the CEL returns? Sometimes they will throw a hard code while running down the road, and an intermittent problem may occur... Just a thought...
