The check engine light is on and the engine is not running as it should.
The owners book states that this light indicates a problem with the fuel injection.
Is there a sensor that needs replacing or is this more serious and may require injection overhaul.
The light started to come on intermittently but is now on all the time.
Engine is now slower to start.

Hi there,

There are a number of components that can be at fault. If you run a scan and retrieve the code, it will indicate the item that has set the fault so you or your tech will know where to start looking.
