A NICE SUMMER DAY TRANSPORTING MY FAMILY, INCLUDING TWO SMALL CHILDREN TO A BASEBALL GAME. TEMP WAS 80 F, NO WIND, MOSTLY SUNNY. CAME TO A STOP AT A RED LIGHT. WHEN THE LIGHT CHANGED TO GREEN, PUSHED ON ACCELERATOR. VEHICLE HESITATED, THAN ACCELERATED SLOWER THAN EXPECTED IN A HALTING, HERKY-JERKY WAY. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SLOW. I WAS ABLE TO MOVE THE VEHICLE OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, WHERE I CONTACT ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALER REPORTED REPLACING THE COIL ON PLUG IGNITION. *TR
