You need to check your engine.

lol@ jeanc

|
|
but seriously, folks...
Could be a number of things but the first thing that came to my mind was your PCV valve. |
|
|
|
tune up 3 months ago oil change, 3 months ago also
|

Fuel sensor, MAP sensor, or ignition module. PCV valve isn't going to
have a thing to do with it. Unless you know where to check these-you will need a mechanic. If it is the ignition module-you will need a mechanic. |

Do you change your oil every 3000 miles???

If it is the ignition module-you will need a mechanic. Well, excuse the hell outta me, Mr. Smarty Pants, but my car was having the same symptoms and that's exactly what it was. |

|
|
yep and or every 3 months as scheduled give or take a couple days
providing its a day off |
|
|
|
mine did that same thing and it was the fuel filter???
But I'm not a mechanic...might even be bad gasoline??? |
|
|
|
What kind of car do you drive, jean?
|
|
|
|
Go to your local Advance Auto, Checkers or Auto Zone. They will run a
test on your check engine light for no charge and tell you what is wrong. While you're there you might want to pick up some fuel treatment. Sounds like you may have picked up some water in your fuel and even if not it won't hurt anything. |

|
|
The "Check Engine" light is one thing. When the "Get Rid Of Car" light
comes on, that's another thing altogether. |
|
|
|
well, i can;t give advice here. I drive and I know how, however i can;t
even change a tire, any volunteers? |
|
|
|
Oops that is if it is a '96 or above.
