If you go by Auto Zone, Advanced Auto they will scan your car codes for free..Ask me it sounds like a EGR valve or clogged up fuel injector,dirty air breather...If you have someone to do this I would try this first...Buy some bottle throttle spray with the mass air sensor cans together..Cans are smaller but you get both kinds...The bottle throttle spray is to clean your carburetor....Not Carburetor spray! It's bad for your seals..You take the front rubber boot off with usually a screwdriver or small wrench...Try not to let the spray get into the carburetor...But I usually park on a downward slope...Keeping it running out the front....Thanks mass air sensor is inside the air duct...It will have a connection pin on it.. Sometimes you have to disconnect them...That's where you spray the Mass flow spray..It has directions on the can ad well as the bottle throttle spray can...This will be less around 10.00 to do... Worth trying and can't hurt only help...The EGR valve either needs cleaning or replaced...That will make your car shut down at red lights.. Usually the motor idles rough at ref lights and shuts the car off..The EGR valve doesn't close right due the contamination of additives in fuel.Overtime it will get dirty and needs cleaning or replaced...You can buy a book that helps you fix your car....Just look for your brand and year model...About 20.00....Look under trouble shoot....Look for the situation that your cars doing....The book will pay for itself. ...Hope this helps...It could be other things as well...Dirty gas filter..
Your service or check engine lights which is the OBDii system May have Pending Codes because it takes time for the OBDii to get info from the sensors long enough to show the codes, which could be read by a $10.00 bluetooth device from Ebay. right to your phone or tablet!! The ELM 127 or something like that and you get the codes of the car from your phone and perhaps Live diagnostics to show if sensors are giving too high or low of readings. If you buy and ELM get the one with lights, I find i had better luck with it working.
SOURCE: Why does my car vibrate and noisy at red light and stop sign
Maybe it's the transmission itself. check it.
SOURCE: car dies when driving,check engine light comes on.
There is a good chance it could be your fuel pump , however if the check engine light is coming on and the dealer cant tell you what is wrong , try a different dealer or another shop. Second opinions never hurt.
SOURCE: Car jerks to left w/no warning
My opinion, not a good car. But that is a different story. It would be easiest to bring the car in for an alignment. The technician will tell you what the car needs to do the alignment. But if you want to do it yourself then you will need to inspect all the steering componants (tie-rods,struts, lower ball joint, wheel bearings, brakes, wheels, tire wear,tread pattern, and tire pressure, and lug nuts (loose or overtightened). Good luck.
SOURCE: what does the orange warning sign on the dashboard means?
There are several waring lights on your dash so lets see if i can guess: does it look like this ( ! ) with some squiggly lines under it? If it is that's your tire pressure warning light tell you that one or more of your tires is low on air. after you correct you tire pressure you'll find a tire pressure reset switch just inside you glove box push it for a few seconds and your warning light should get cleared.
SOURCE: car just shut down on highway. Mech says I need a new crank senso
