last night my car misfired for some reason. i turn the key all the way, and the car has a slight jolt and doesnt start. i try it again and it starts up with no problem ... about two hours later while im driving, my check engine light comes on :mad: i noticed when the car is off and i turn the key twice(with all dash lights on) there is an electronic buzzing sound coming from somewhere to right of the engine. i gotta admit...before the misfire, i was kinda being hard on my car, but i wasnt pushing it that hard..and it was only for about 20 minutes. does anyone have an idea on what it could be? i have a 1999 c230 kompressor... anyone know where i can go to get a free or cheap diagnostic test? the sounds r coming from the circled area...
