Hi and thanks for using AC

This could be several different things. However, if the check engine light has come on, I recommend scanning the computer to determine where the problem is coming from. Here is a video showing how it is done:

If you find there are no codes, I would recommend checking the catalytic converter to see if it is plugged. Here are common symptoms of this issue:

Do these things first and let me know what you find.

Take care,
