Start with a full tune and code read. Check fuel pressures and compression, check and adjust valve clearances as well. Check for arcing inside the distributor cap and that the carbon brush is not burnt out. Also, check rotor air gap. Re-post for further assistance if required.

Hi UWEM EKPO,

I am sending you a link to an article that features written step by step instructions and pictures explaining how to do the scan yourself. Also, I have included a link to our YouTube channel with a how to video on code scanning.

This is applicable even if your check engine light is not on.

Most scanners are inexpensive to purchase, you can purchase one online from sites like Amazon.com

Once you have the codes please get back to us so that we can further assist you. We are always happy to help.

Thank you for visiting 2CarPros.com.

Kindest regards,
Renee
