This is the most impressive car i have been in. 130,000 miles and zero issues, until it sat for eleven months. New battery, brakes, rotors, spark plugs, changed oil before turning it over, car never missed a beat. Drove it every day for a month even a few eighty mile runs for a concert. Yesterday on my lunch break at work I took her to get smokes and upon parking in the same spot that i left the dreaded engine light twenty four hours before the inspection appointment. Autozone scanned and found p1259, and p1399 with no information. Too bad four hours on Google and i am still with no information. Car has a slight hesitation and low idle but still drives and is able to rev up if i floor it. Please if any one has even the slightest clue where i should start. Help!
