WELL SIR, I DO NOT KNOW WHETHER I CAN ASSIST YOU OR NOT---I MAY HAVE TO GET ONE OF THE OTHER GUYS TO PIPE IN.....THE 1ST THING ANYONE IS GONNA WANT TO KNOW IS, "WHAT ARE THE CODES?". YOU MAY HAVE NO CLUE WHAT I'M SPEAKING OF, SO I WILL EXPLAIN: MR. ON-BOARD COMPUTER IS SCREAMING FOR HELP!---THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT---HE IS READY AND WILLING TO SPILL HIS GUTS AS TO WHAT COULD BE GOING WRONG!.......YOU, AS HIS BEST BUDDY NEED TO TAKE HIM OVER TO "AUTOZONE" OR "ADVANCE AUTO", OR ANOTHER POPULAR AUTO PARTS STORE AND HAVE HIM CODED---THEY WILL DO THIS FOR FREE!!! (COST ME $54 AT A SHOP YEARS AGO)...RETURN WITH THE CODES AND WE WILL ATTEMPT TO ASSIST YOU!---THE MEDIC
