before you do anything scan for codes and check fuel pressure with a gauge. then check for a vacuum leak and clean throttle plate on both sides and IAC with choke cleaner. See link for fuel pressure test.

Hello Nene55,

If you would like to conduct the scan yourself here is a link to an article that features written step by step instructions and pictures explaining how to do the scan yourself, also I have included a link to our YouTube channel with a how to video on code scanning.

This is applicable even if your check engine light is not on.

Most scanners are inexpensive to purchase, you can purchase one online from sites like Amazon.com
