[QUOTE="Vic Sorlie, post: 1022985, member: 69241"] You really need to write down the codes to properly diagnose your problems. Otherwise you're just guessing and throwing parts at the car. If you reset the CEL and it comes back, you need to read the codes again; if same code reappears then whatever action you took didn't give you a good fix. From your description of symptoms and age/mileage of your car it sounds like the computer is getting a bad sensor input(s) and is struggling to correct. Your mechanic should be able to show you the codes that will guide the repair. [/QUOTE]
