Sputtering and check engine
My 2002 S60 has been sputtering off and on for about five weeks. I put in some higher octane fuel and it improved for a little while. Today was worse than ever. The check engine light came on and the error message "try slow down or shift up" came up on the dashboard. In the past it would sputter for about 10 minutes and then go away. Today it lasted for an hour. Any ideas? Thanks!

RE: Sputtering and check engine
have you tried another gas station? My other car doesnt run as too well with a certain "brand" of gas... so i actually need to travel a few miles further to get to the 'better' gas station.
... but like tech said: get the code. Nothing bad's gonna come out of that....

RE: Sputtering and check engine
I tried better gas and it appeared to work for a little while but it's back again. This time worse than before. Here is what I'm getting now...
Check engine light - code P0303 = misfire in cylinder #3
Error light occasionaly on the dash that reads "try slow down or shift to higher gear.
Any ideas?

Is the coil just the wire that plugs into the spark plug? Can I get that at Auto Zone? Thanks!

This is what the coil looks like;
I found that the dealer is the only one who carries them. I may be wrong. Someone else may be able to let you know where to get them.
