I have had my vehicle to 3 different dealers to diagnose the problem for a fix. No error codes are being stored is one issue and the service engine light is not on. here is what happens, while drving at any speed, the truck seems to feel like it stalls. All indicator dash lights come on, (service engine, ABS, etc as well as park assist). After a brief second or so, all clears and truck resumes. I was told it is going into limp mode briefly but they cannot diagnose since there are no codes and the service engne light does not stay on. Acts like a huge hiccup. Lose everything. At high speeds, the truck will just roll through it and only the dash lights alert you it happened. Slower speeds can really be felt. I am afraid this could become a safety issue. Does anyone have any idea where to begin. I would think someone would know at the places I have been. Come back when the light stays on is what I am told. Maybe someone here can provide some input....please

SOURCE: Loud air intake engine noise on startup

I would guess it is the electronic fan clutch. It will cause the fan to run too fast (very loud) and the light will come on sometimes.

There is no p01001, it's either p0100, or p0101.
Anyway, it's the mass air flow sensor that's bad. The p0171 and p0174 is a lean condition on bank 1 and bank 2, which are the oxygen sensors. Change the mass air flow sensor and that should take care of the p0171 and 74 codes.
The mass air flow sensor can cause the 02 sensors to read lean.
The u1301, is a class 2 circuit short to battery. That, you have to test wires to find with a voltmeter/continuity tester.
I would try and find that short before changing the flow sensor, you don't need the new one shorting out, they are not that cheap.

Service vehicle soon like comes on after 25 minutes of running then it locks out my radio and causes the security light to also come on. I've had it on 3 different scopes & was told the codes were

I don't know who told you that , a semi- clogged catalytic will cause a low power issue an maybe a couple of DTC'S diagnostic trouble codes P0420 - P0430 ,Has nothing to do with the alarm system ! Do you mean Service vehicle soon or SERVICE ENGINE SOON ?
SERVICE VEHICLE SOON
The IPC illuminates the SERVICE VEHICLE SOON indicator in the message center when the PCM or the BCM detects certain non-emissions related malfunctions. The IPC receives a class 2 message from the PCM or from the BCM requesting illumination. What problem are you having with alarm system ? If you have a starting issue it's the Anti-Theft system not alarm system . The alarm would go off if you vehicle was broke into . I don't know what shop you took it to but did you try a dealer ?

My car is Nissan np300 2011 and is showing the code p1622 inj adj val unregistered this was after fitting new injectors what can that be

Sometimes (depending on the vehicle) the light will not go out by itself (after fixing the problem). If so, _must_ be reset (''cleared'') by a code reader tool. It is also possible you still have a different problem. Only the service book can tell you meaning of the codes. (Not a book you can buy at an auto parts store, but a dealer service manual for that specific vehicle).

Location idle air control valve

Your vehicle does not have a IAC valve ! Your vehicle has electronic throttle control . P0351 probably a wiring issue or open driver inside the PCM for cylinder # one . Your best bet take it to the dealer , you have not the knowledge or tools to diagnose this problem ! You are obviously using some cheap code reader to pull codes with or you wouldn't come up with P0508 . Factory service info. does not show Po508 for that vehicle. Plus working for ford i know for a fact this vehicle does not have IAC . If the driver inside the PCM is bad it will need to go to dealer anyway for programming .

Why does the "service engine soon" light appear on

you have an issue with vehicle. could be anything from loose fuel cap to failed catalyst/ cat convertor, which is very expensive. you need to know the code number to get started with diagnosing issue. get your self a small hand hels scanner from your local friendly auto parts store and scan for codes. some part stores may even scan it for you for FREE. nissan dealer will charge you arm and your leg to look at it. our dealership charges 1hr of labor to look at "service engine soon" light and diagnose it no matter if it takes 5 minutes to figure out or 45 minutes you will pay 1hr of labor which could be around $100 big ones. so get a scanner which goes for around $60 and scan it your self and this way you have a scanner for future if the light comes on again for something else. that light can copme on for number of reasons.

Why is my orange engine light on constantly on my kia rio

If it is the check engine light then you need to get the vehicle scanned at either a place like autozone, the dealer, or any local independent repair facility. The light is telling you that the computer has stored a fault code and you need a scanner to obtain that code. After you get the code post it and then we can go from there.

What do these codes for my 1999 volkswagon beetle

Personally, I'd have your husband take the car to one of the local auto parts stores like Auto Zone. They can test your vehicle and diagnose the codes for you. The service is free. They will also recommend replacement parts should your husband decide that he wants to attempt to fix the vehicle himself. I'm not quite sure that your vehicle should be displaying so many different codes all at the same time.

'check' light keeps coming on

Why my Check Engine/Service Engines Soon light comes on?
The engine computer or PCM/ECM
All modern vehicles have a computer or the ECM (Electronic Control Module) that controls the operation of the vehicle powertrain (the engine and transmission). The main purpose of this is to keep the engine running at top efficiency with the lowest possible emissions. With constantly growing demands for better fuel economy and new strictest emission regulations it's not very easy to achieve. The engine parameters need to be constantly and precisely adjusted according to various conditions such as speed, load, engine temperature, gasoline quality, ambient air temperature, road conditions, etc. That's why today's cars have much more electronics than in early days - there is a large number of various sensors and other electronic devices that help the vehicle computer or ECM to precisely control the engine and transmission operation and monitor emissions.
The vehicle computer system has self-testing capability. When the computer senses that there is a problem with some of the components it stores the correspondent trouble code(s) in its memory and lights up the "Check Engine" or "Service Engine Soon" light to tell you that there is a problem and your car needs to be looked at. To properly diagnose what is wrong, you need to take your car to a mechanic or a dealer. The technician at the dealership or a garage will then hook up the scanner to the car computer and retrieve the stored trouble code(s). Then he (she) will look it up in the service manual provided by a car manufacturer. The service manual contains the list of possible codes (about few hundreds) and describes what each code means and what needs to be tested. The code itself doesn't tell exactly what component is defective - it only indicates where to look, what engine parameter is out of normal range. The technician will have to perform further testing to pinpoint a defective part.
