Ha good one! COME ON you guys..
those replies were kinda funny.. but yeah, anyway..
the ses light has been on for a few months, husband said no big deal he knows what its on for.I just took his word for it. He does like to rag on it a bit and has gone from 5th to 4th a few times on accident, still makes me cringe though, anyway.. last night driving home I heard a very very faint clinq sound as I was coasting at about 65 mph. bout 5 to 10 min later ses light starts flashing engine gets sluggish, oil pressure goes to the middle line and below. I pulled in a parking lot checked the oil about 20 times it was at the "add" level, it was caramel colored. Also it had somewhat of a ticking sound. I put oil in it and it sounded a little better, I drove it across the parking lot the ses didn't flash and the engine felt a little better the ticking was kinda gone but I wasn't confident enough to drive it home. also when I checked the oil there was a tiny bubble. I've heard that bubbles in the oil is not good .So this morning I got the obd2 diagnostic thing, and that's how the codes came about.the ses light flashed only when I got over 30 mph also when I drove it home it backfired, and did the popping thing, it has a Borla exhaust? and has been hooked up to a Diablo tuner if that helps any. Please excuse my lack of car knowledge. I'm almost certain though this is a bad bad thing, and I know my Husband is gonna throw a rod when I have to tell him. (No pun intented) I'm just trying to gather all the knowledge I can before I give him the bad news. I appreciate the help.

Check # 5 cylinder....anything that will make THAT cylinder not contribute....wire, coil, plug. If wire is not off or broken...easiest thing to do is switch the #5 coil with another and see if the misfire follows....if so walla the coil is bad. Worst case is a mechanical condition affecting that cylinder...low compression etc. Good luck!
