IF YOUR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON, HAVING IT SCANNED AT A POPULAR AUTO PARTS STORE MAY BE THE 1ST STEP IN FIGURING OUT WHAT MIGHT BE WRONG, THIS IS USUALLY A FREE SERVICE.

THIS "COULD" BE ONE POSSIBILITY, IF THE LIGHT AIN'T ON

IT'S POSSIBLE THAT MAYBE IT JUST CAME UNPLUGGED

WHATEVER ENGINE YOU HAVE, IT SHOULD BE LOCATED ON THE THROTTLE BODY, IT MAY LOOK VERY SIMILAR TO MINE.

I HOPE IT'S JUST THIS SIMPLE
