However I recently made a slow right hand turn (2.5k rpms in second gear) and suddenly the motor ran rough and almost stalled, oil and CEL came on and I immediately shut the motor off. I checked the oil and it was full waited for the car to cool and checked it again 15 min later, then started it and it was fine. It is a 2000 SVT with 187k on the chassis and less than 60k on the motor. I recently bought the car and have a K&N intake & B&M shifter as the only mods. I run 6.5 quarts of 5w30 Mobil1 and doesn't consume any over a 4000 oil change interval. I am wondering why this happened and what to do to prevent it in the future? 2000 Black/Tan CSVT B&M Short Throw,K&N, Trubendz w/ Vibrant Resonators & Mufflers

This could be a fluke occurrence but without the codes, it would be hard to tell. "Always do the cheap and easy ones first." 1996 V6 ATX 96K miles

Yes, maybe freak occurence. Once again, when the engine is almost to the point of stalling, the instrument panel lights can sometimes start to come on.
