Hi,

Because of the model year, there isn't an easy way to retrieve diagnostic codes. So, I have to ask what is happening when you use the vehicle. For example, is there a misfire? Are there any drivability issues such as stalling, back firing, loss of power, and so on?

Let me know as much as you can.

Take care.

Joe
