Have you checked for engine codes? You can do it at home. Here is how:

Cycle the ignition key from of to the run position 3 times. The 3rd time let it in the run position. THe engine light will begin to flash. You need to count the number of times it flashes. Each code will be a 2 digit number. The light will flash, have a slight pause, flash again, then have a longer pause. It will then continue on if there are more. The last code will be a 55 indicating it has finished.

Let me know what codes you get. Remember, you don't turn the key to the start position, only the run position while cycling.
