Description of the problem	Engine went to idle at a traffic light and would not respond when light changed to green, check engine light came on. I idled to the side of the road , shut off engine and restarted it. It seemed to be ok but check engine light was still on. Check engine light went out the next day . I took it to dealer for repairs ( a week later was the soonest they could get me in) they did an software update and cleaned the etc motor per "technical service bulletin #133 rev. 11/27/2013" i'm keeping my fingers crossed that this fixed the problem.
