Check Enging Light Flashing - HELP!
I have a 1998 Esteem GL Wagon. 180K Miles. I was bought new. It has been a great little car. So great, that to this point the only thing outside of regular maintenance that has gone wrong with it is that around 100K miles the O2 sensor had to be replaced due to carbon buildup.
Today I went to pull out of my driveway, and the Check Engine light started to flash (it has never done this before) The car seemed to have little pickup, and the engine seemed like it was going to stall, but never did. I drove about a 1/2 mile, realized the situation wasn't improving, and turned around to come home. As I was coming home I heard a "ca clunk clunk" under the hood on the right side (it seemed anyway).
The car is sitting in my driveway right now. Two questions:
1. Anyone have any idea what type of repair I'm looking at?
2. Is it even safe to drive this car into the shop (7 miles from here)?
Thanks in advance.
