Default Latrine Physicians - Diagnose this Problem

'00 S70, non-turbo auto. 196k miles. Intermittent stuttering/shuddering under mild acceleration. Check Engine light has come on. If it was carbureted I would say it feels like its fuel starved, or a vacuum leak. Before I get the code checked, what do you think?

My daughter went over a pothole and the check engine light shut off!

Yup, yellow code that ETM is going. Gently dying, according to the mechanic.

Wonderful.
