Hello, I'm Danny.

Having those diagnostic lights on means that there are trouble codes stored in your cars computer. First thing that needs to be done is have the codes retrieved.Most auto parts stores can either loan you a code reader/scanner or will do it for you for free. Here is a tutorial showing you what is involved:

After you have this done please get back to us and we can properly diagnose the troubles with your car.Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.
