Hi,

This could be the result of a few different things. The first thing I would suggest is to check for diagnostic trouble codes. This vehicle has an OBD1 system that doesn't require a scan tool to retrieve codes.

Follow the directions in this link and let me know what you find:

If you have already done this, let me know if and what codes were found.

Let me know.

Joe
