Rough Idle, Check Engine Light
After a bit of spirited driving, the CEL came on and the car began to idle a bit unevenly. Other than that, everything is running fine.
Any thoughts on the problem? The shop can't look at it for another week.
Thanks in advance....

Good. Do you have a OBD tool (code reader)?

Go to Autozone (or some other parts store) and get your OBD II codes read (usually for free). Then tell us all the codes.
