I had van checked out at auto zone the check engine light has been on forever but the reason i had it checked was because of the skip that started as told i bought oxygen senser and put it on the van seemed to have more power but it still had skip,thinking maybe i got some bad gas i have put gas treatment with no change.The van when driving feels like its holding back its power but it will gradually pick up speed but once you stop it has a rough skipping vibration i don't have the money to put it in the shop so i am hoping you can give me some advice asto what and how to check next.I have a 7 and 10 year old i have to take to school every morning your help would be greatly appreciated.Again thanks for your time!
