REPLACE FUEL FILTER.CLEAN FUEL INJECTORS AND FILL TANK UP WITH NEW GASOLINE.REPLACE SPARK PLUGS AND WIRES,CHANGE AIR FILTER, DO THIS LITTLE TUNE UP AND SEE IF IT HELPS YOUR POWER.

when the abs light comes on after driving and turns off when shut down, it indicates that the sensors are working, but what it is seeing is and error in the mechanic part of the system..

Generally most popular. there is a geared tooth ring on your front drive axles that the sensor picks up, you need to inspect them for cracks, make sure to look closely

If possible, a scanner will tell you which wheel has the error, and that will narrow down which wheel to inspect, otherwise you will need to look at all four wheel sensor rings

good luck

you put a new battery in the remote, if it does not work then a dealer will have to teach the car's receiver to know the remote.

If it revs up & doesn't go,the trans is slipping
& will have to be rebuilt

Not going over 35 with no trans issues would
be a bad exhaust converter (blocked) & or
a clogged gas filter

Tune-up is sort of a outdated term and never
is a cure for much ,unless you have ignition issues

Never have to replace any PCV Valves. Remove & clean
every 3 years

You have a ignition misfire your plug wire are seeking ground just do a major tune up with new plug wires and if the coil wire or the coil tower are corroded replace the coil also, with a new cap and rotor

the code doesnt mean for sure its the egr--to really know hookit to a tech ll cause codes are just general otherwise--u need a haynes or other repair book

take it to a auto parts store like autozone and they will read the codes for free, then go from there

what are the codes?
