Accepted Answer

Sounds like you have either a bad coil, wire or plug. the yellow warning symbol is the car's way of telling you there is a problem with the engine. you need to take it and have the "codes" read from the computer to see which sylider(s) are misfiring. try not to drive the car more than you need to, as the misfire condition will cause more problems in many other systems if gone untreated.
