Do a search on here about engine codes. All you have to do is read the engine codes and u'll know whats wrong. You might need to see a mechanic so they can read the code/codes unless you live close to a member on here that has the code reader.

Hi and Welcome Malibu,

I'd grab yourself a copy of the workshop manual, PM TOONGA if you can't find one. This will tell you how to check the codes in your model and from that we should be able to give you some better answers.

Cheers,
Paul
