The engine warning light is on and the engine surges intermittently while driving. I use premium unleaded petrol. The car is E10 compatible.
Should I be using E10 fuel only or is it possibly timing chain?

Hello BRETT ROBINSON,

I am sending you a link to an article that features written step by step instructions and pictures explaining how to scan for codes yourself. Also, I have included a link to our YouTube channel with a how to video on code scanning.

This is applicable even if your check engine light is not on.

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.

Thank you for visiting 2CarPros.com.

Kindest regards,
Renee
