2001 Olds Alero 2.4 idles rough misses acasionally then under torque at 3000 it misses and Trac off light comes on and service engine light flashes

Go to an auto parts store and have them scan for a code. That should give you an indication of what is wrong with it.

1998 4Runner - rough idle, engine light on (blinking, at times), sometimes when I step on the brake it brakes quickly rather than to a slow stop

The first thing I would do is to go and get the service light checked out. You can go up to an auto parts store (Autozone, Advance Auto Parts, or O'Reilly's) and they can scan your truck's computer for the trouble codes. This can really help in shedding some light on why your engine is idling roughly, although sometimes a rough idle can be caused by little things like bad fuel or needing a tuneup. As far as your brakes go, it is a good thing that your brakes stop your truck quickly. It is when your brakes slowly stop your truck, you should start to worry. Just adjust how much pressure you apply to your brake pedal.

02 grand marquis service engine lamp on, and idles a little rough

Your best bet would be to take it to Auto-Zone and have them read the code/s for you. It is a free service and can help lead you in the right direction. You can look at your gas cap, it can cause a rough idle and turn cause an engine code. Let me know how you make out.

Myservice engine light came today rogh in idle at light rpms seem a little high this is a 98 saturn sl2 I think engine is a 1.9

the check engine light means that a code has been set. the code will reference a faulty system that must be diagnosed and repaired. sorry for the vagueness, but there are e gads of codes that can cause the rough idling

most aftermarket parts places will scan the car for free. this will give you an idea of where to start.
