Its supposed to do that if the car is really in a skid.If you are getting the light just driving down a dry road, you would need to have the body computer scanned for trouble codes.

Someone would need to figure out if you are dealing with a no spark or no fuel pressure issue to proceed.You have to know what is missing from the equation to know where to start looking.

Hello

The engine and the automatic transmission in this vehicle are computer controlled and in most cases when a fault occurs a fault code is stored in the memory of the computer control module. There are exception to this, such as the Mass Airflow Meter and fuel pressure problems. What must be done is to have all the basic testing done such as a scan of the system for fault codes as well as a check with a live data scanner tool for engine functions that are not within range of normal, a trained technician is required to know what is correct and what isn't, then based on careful diagnostics done from a factory repair manual the correct part is replaced or the wiring repaired or the computer replaced (known as the PCM), which is very rarely the problem. Other basic checks must be done as well such as mechanical problems with the engine as well as engine state of tune and mileage on the engine. The transmission can have mechanical issues as well such as no gear engagement at all or a failed pump or other pressure related problems.

valve or ignition timing could be out by 1 or more teeth. Re-check valve timing

motors in fans goosed replace or take them off and try direct to battery to see if they turn fast

Is there a check engine light? Even if not, your oxygen flow sensor may be sometimes malfunctioning. Use an OBD-II diagnostic tool to see if you have any readings or error codes. You can borrow one from a friend or some auto parts shops will run that through for you - just give some a call and ask.

If the question is answered, it should be below the ads and have the person who answered it named to the left.Some questions we can't answer.

I would start with checking the computer for trouble codes. Sounds like a bad connection in the dash wiring or key switch, but the trouble code might steer you in the right direction.
