Translation: "My check engine light came on, which means the ECU (engine control computer or unit) sees a problem, and generated one or more codes to help me know what is wrong".
STOP right there, you are wasting your time and ours if you have codes and do not tell us what they are. Even the CHEAPEST ($30) ODBII readers will read the codes for you. IMO, EVERYONE should have a code reader and know how to plug it in and grad codes - with the codes, we can be of much more help.

That response, right out of the gate, is a good reason as to why I send people to Rob at Needwings so often.
