Hi
When you see engine light come on means computer detect problem in the system such as one of the sensors get problem specially oxygen sensor..
You need to scan your computer code reader will show you which sensor has problem.

good luck.

Best to take it to a parts store that will read the codes for you. That takes the guess work out of the picture.

I have a 2004 dodge stratus 2.4 dual overhead cam. When driving down the road, bell goes off, check engine light comes on, and it's like I'm driving on limp mode, when going over 2000 rpm's, there's a severe stutter. After getting code for light it points to cam shaft sensor, which i changed. I also changed crank shaft sensor. After all of this was done, drove great for about 30 miles and the same thing happened all over again. If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.
