Hi,

Have you checked to make sure there are no engine vacuum leaks? If not, start there.

Here is a link that explains how it's done:

Here is a link you may find helpful as well:

Let me know what you find. Also, let me know if you checked for diagnostic trouble codes. If the check engine light stays on when the engine is running, there will be codes that may help.

Let me know.

Take care,

joe
