Is the Check Engine light on? If so, get the codes read at a local parts store. They usually have a code reader that you can borrow for free. They will hold your credit card or driver’s license while you use the code reader to download the trouble codes. They will read your codes and will also be happy to discuss them with you. If you reply with the codes, we’ll help, too.

BTW, call ahead to make sure they have a code reader. Chain stores usually do.

P.P.S. Johnny Wad, is that really you, back from the great beyond?

If the CEL is on, there are codes. Get them read, and post them here. We can help you better that way.
