Re: strange doings yesterday - help please
UPDATE!!
as usual the information provided by those that responded was spot on. pulled the code last evening and it showed crankshaft position sensor as the cause for the problem. the check engine light turned itself off when i restarted the car last night to check the codes. seems to be running as it should but a new sensor has been ordered and it will be changed out when it arrives. again, many thanks to all those on the forum who provided the valuable information and pointed me in the correct direction.
