My car listed above starts, idles rough sounds like a lawn mower then shuts off after 5 minutes of running. It'll start again and do the same. Had it scanned, and they said something about the PCM.

If it is idling rough, you can have low compression in one or more cylinders, this guide can help us go over what is happening and why. Also, it would be good if you could give us the codes numbers, which should help us as well.

And this guide can help us get the code numbers:
