At fisrt I had a the following problem with the car: when driving and I turned to the right the cars engine shut down, when I started again it stalled for a couple of seconds and the run fine until I turned to the right again, at one point I got the Check Engine light and when tested with the OBD II reader it pointed to a problem with the Knock Sensor, I cleared the error and after some time the problem is different, I have no problem turning to the right anymore but now while driving the car compress by itself and then run normal again, and it does all the time, do you think this is a problem due to a faulty Knock Sensor or where else should I check?

Hello -

To better assist you please tell me if your model is a SE or XE. Also the engine size in liter and the 8th digit of your VIN.

Also, please go to Auto Zone (AZ) or O'Reilly's (OR) and for FREE they can pull the codes to the car. Most important: Once they check your codes, if they find something and you don't get it fixed and need to get back with us, please make sure you tell us exactly what the code was, number and all. Example, if the code was E0568 O2 Sensor bad. Then make sure you give us all of that. While there for FREE also they can bring their tester out and check your battery and alternator.
