This could be a number of things so we need to start running through these items on these guides so that we can get some more information on what to look further into. Basically we need to get some things checked off so that we can move onto other things. Plus I suspect we will find one of these things that is causing the issue.

Is the check engine light on? If so we need to check for codes so we can chase those down as well.

Let us know what you find with this and we can go from there. Thanks
