I have a 99 teg automatic thats been sitting in my garage for the longest time anyways i went to turn it on recently and waited for it to warm up it was blowing some smoke out of the exhaust (cold weather the smoke was white) eventually the engine light started flashing and the car started boging but still running i turned the car off and back on the engine light is now on and a min or two later its boging again and engine light starts flashing again ...any ideas ?

how long do you mean the longest time?? if its been 3 or more months its just gasoline, run that through and fill her up with some new gas and you should be good to go, add some fuel system cleaner. Its all the moisture from in the gas tank thats causing it

If that doesn't solve your problem, get the code scanned; most shops carry an OBD-II code reader, and i know Mr. Lube will scan your car for free.

Sounds like it starts bogging once it gets into closed loop operation; my car had the same symptoms when my intake air temperature sensor was on the fritz.

Sounds like an engine misfire to me. Probably bad gas from sitting around. May wanna try filling up with premium fuel, replace the spark plugs. But before you do that have some scan the vehicle for diagnostic trouble code. I can help you with that if ur close to Thornhill.
