Engine will not idle properly. Losses power going uphill. Check engine light stays on.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS SCREAMING THAT THE COMPUTER HAS BEEN TOLD THERE IS A PROBLEM!

SO

NO GUESSING

NO THROWING PARTS AT IT

KNOWING WHAT THE COMPUTER KNOWS IS HOW YOU PLAN THE ATTACK!

TAKE THAT PUPPY TO A POPULAR AUTO PARTS STORE

MOST WILL SCAN YOUR VEHICLE FOR CODES FOR FREE, YES, FOR FREE!

WHAT THEY WILL FIND ARE CODES LIKE THIS ONE (STUPID EXAMPLE "P0123") THERE MAY BE MORE THAN ONE CODE (OF MANY MANY)

WHEN THEY GET THE SCANNING DONE LET'S WRITE DOWN ALL OF THE CODES (HAVE PEN AND PAPER ON HAND!)

LISTEN TO 'EM AS FAR AS YOUR "THIS" IS BAD AND YOUR THAT IS "BAD"

'MEMBER I TOLD YOU THIS "CODES CAN BE INTERPRETED SOMETIMES DIFFERENTLY FROM ONE FELLER TO ANOTHER"

THIS IS WHY YOU NEED THE NUMBERS NOT AN OPINION (EVEN THOUGH THEY MIGHT BE DEAD ON!)

BRING THE NUMBERS BACK HERE, IF I CAN'T FIGGER 'EM OUT, I'LL ASK FOR ASSISTANCE FROM ANOTHER EXPERT HERE AT 2CARPROS

NOW GET ON IT!

SEE YOU SOON
