I also posted this in the Prayer Requests/Praise Reports Forum, but I wanted to post it here as well for the sake of discussing troubleshooting my current car as well as ask for recommendations for a new vehicle:
So if you have suggestions for keeping my current car running a little longer or recommendations for a new vehicle good for toting 2 small children around safely (decent gas mileage strongly preferred!), please post!
Yesterday morning, I drove to one of the sites I support. A short while later, I drove to a second site and worked there for a few hours. When I left the second site, my car was shaking while at low speeds. After work, I stopped by a local auto parts store, asked them to read the check engine light codes, and didn't find anything new or scary. On my way home from the auto parts store, my check engine light started flashing. I drove back to the store after dinner, asked them to check codes again, but this time, they couldn't establish a connection with the code reader.
So, as of yesterday, I'm starting the car search in earnest, which means hours upon hours of research and fervent prayers that my current car holds on until I can buy a new one.
