Hi,

I had this problem last year and the mechanic said a wire had come loose that effects the timing. He plugged something back in and it worked perfectly again, he didn’t even charge me it was that quick and simple. What is the thing that he plugged in?

Hard to say, do you have a check engine light on? IF we run the codes it should tell us what is disconnected, also lift the hood and see if you can tell if anything is loose? Here is a guide to help us get started.

Please run down this guide and report back.
