I just rechecked the site and there is no p1100 code sorry

I would suggest you only go to a dealer to buy a new vehicle& use your warranty, if you do buy new,otherwise avoid the dealersNothing special there & the cost of doing business is too highStay with the local shop you should be using for years or decades

I was driving at about 65 mph on the highway and the first thing i noticed was the trac off light blinking on and off. Also, there was some sporadic sound coming from somewhere and thought nothing of it. Then, I couldnt accelerate anymore and pulled to the side right away as the engine was thumping. Opened the hood and saw smoke coming out. I had also put antifreeze in the car a few days ago and it was bone dry. So apparently, I have a leak. I tried to start the car again after an hour and half with antifreeze in the car and nothing. Anyone have any suggestions??? I should mention that i do hear the engine trying to ignite but it sounds like its misfiring and it won't start.

fuses control each side of car so two feeds to rear lights if power lost in both rear lights and front side lights work then its a connection multiblock somewhere but never seen this vehicle in spain so i couldnt tell you where to look only a mechanics logical diagnostics,sorry about this

Check fuses before taking anything apart.

This site doesn't have the diagrams, but the system is not complicated, what is the specific information you need and I will try to address the issue from memory, I am a retired dealer technician.

Check and / or replace plugs, wires, distributor cap, coil / coilpack

Change plugs especially if you have over 50k miles on them.
Wires can sometimes have cracks in them causing misfire.

Hope this helps...
