THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL REPAIR SHOP TO BE CHECKED THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING AND RESET THE LIGHT. A FEW DAYS LATER THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON AND THE CAR STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIWAY. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT BACK TO THE REPAIR SHOP WHERE THEY ARE WORKING TO FIND THE ISSUE AT THIS TIME. THEY HAVE CHANGED THE SPARK PLUGS AND A SENSOR BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THE READER SAID TO DO BUT THE CAR IS STILL DYING AND HAS REDUCED SPEED.
