Question
Idle is either very low or engine dies.   I must press on the gas peddle to keep the engine at an idle speed when coming to a stop.  After two days of this, both the TCS and Engine light have illuminated.   I had this problem about a year ago and the dealer was unable to find a reason before the problem disappeard on its own.

Answer
Roger, if the TCS light is on and it is throwing a check engine light this tells you what the area or problem it is experiencing. I don't understand why the Dealer cannot pinpoint the issue if it is obviously showing a check engine code? Whichever the case I also know the Dealer has the equipment to run a complete diagnostic on the vehicle and look at the history of check engine codes? Why they didn't do this for you is beyond me. Have them run a progressive diagnostic scan and tell them to specifically look at the history and explain to them what symptoms you are having. If they say they cannot perform such diagnostics try a different Dealer. Also try having a free check engine code service done at a local auto parts retailer in your area? It's worth a shot at least. I cannot give you a detailed answer because there is not enough info given with your problem.
