Our Aurora has just begun to miss. I wonder if it's bad gas, plugs, or the gas cap. The check engine light has been on for a few weeks. The rough running has just begun within a few days. Engine had been running very strong. This miss is a reaL SURPRISW. suggestions? Thanks

you need a tune up. if you look at the ignition coils at the rear of the engine and remove the plug wires one at a time and put them back on you will most likely find a coil tower that is rusty. replace the plugs and wires and also replace each coil that is rusty. hope this helps
