The car will only start when I hear a faint buzzing noise located at the top part of the engine. When that noise is not there it wont start. When I turn the ignition the noise with come on. After driving it a while and then turn it off, ill try start it up again and it wont work. There recently has been a new fuel filter, spark plugs, idle air control valve and battery put in.

Hi Amy,

Here is a link to an article that features written step by step instructions and pictures explaining how to do the scan yourself, also I have included a link to our YouTube channel with a how to video on code scanning. Most scanners are inexpensive to purchase, you can purchase one online from sites like Amazon.com. Once you have the codes please get back to us so that we can further assist you. We are always happy to help.
