AutoZone and others may offer free code readings in your area. This is OBDII and not sure you can fake it with this car by itself. Even without code there should be something stored just waiting to put the light on soon.

The reading could really help and save some time and wasted parts to find this problem,

Ok - it's running rough and misfiring. You really should get a code reading from someplace - I don't care where you go and get full stream with a printout if possible. The results might come back that the machine simply can't communicate and that alone is worth knowing. There should be info there that will help and the SES light will be on soon enough if running poorly anyway.

If you refuse to do that then just start tossing parts - plugs, wires, injectors, filters - keep going till you hit it,
