Power steering pressure hose was replaced today. Engine light came on after 30 minutes (total) driving. RPM started fluctuating over 1/engine revving.
Thermostat was replaced 5 mos. ago.

First thing you need to do is have it scanned for codes and let me know the exact code numbers not code descriptions?

Knowing the exact code numbers not code descriptions would really help otherwise we would just be guessing why the check engine light is on.

A vacuum line was not hooked up. Thank you for your input. Will make a note to ask for code # next time.
