Car was running fine, got gas, nade another stop. Upon startup, the engine light came on and the car surged during acceleration. Car has been fine for the past couple of days. Just started again. Only on acceleration. Could not pull a code thru the on-off key sequence (odometer lined out, then said done) or thru OBDII Code reader.
Any Suggestions?
Thanks

If you can't get a code using a scanner, it becomes a guessing game. I would first try to find out why the scanner can't read the computer.
