Good morning,

What is the exact code you have? codes rarely identify bad parts just failed systems.

Once I get the code number, I can give you some suggestions on what to check.

P041 was the code AutoZone gave me, he said I may have to just reset it but he can't because he can lose his job.

Are you sure? there is a code 410 and a 141. is it one of those?

clearing does nothing. the code needs to be checked, repairs done and then the code can be cleared.
