> [@stuartSmith](#): > > it has 4 check engine light issues!!! They WHY did you buy it?? P0303 is a cylinder 3 misfire code. It may be a spark plug, it may depend on the other 2 codes you didn’t post. P0179 is the flex-fuel sensor circuit high input error code. It may be a bad sensor, it may depend on the other 2 codes you didn’t post as well. Post 'em, we’ll see what we can do to help. ---

So why keep us in suspense about the other two codes. They may point to why you have the P0303 and P0179!!!Or they may be more important. Yosemite
