Thank you so much in advance,

AnswerHi Andy,
Unfortunately that's not the first time I've been confronted with that problem. Seems to me like the ECM/PCM has gone belly-up. Try disconnecting the battery, while the key is ON for fifteen minutes. Then turn OFF the key and reconnect the battery. That is a hard-reset of the ECM and if it still does not function, I'd have to point to the module.
Looking for a reputable service technician? My advice on finding a good technician is: Steer clear of the dealership and 'chain' stores like Firestone, Sears, Pep Boys, Monro Muffler/Brake, Midas, etc. as they usually only employ ONE ASE Certified Tech just so they can say they do and chances are, that guy is the asst. manager or manager and is not in the store to diagnose/repair vehicles anyway. Find a service location in the link below or get some names out of the yellow-pages and do a drive-by. Garages that employ ASE Certified Technicians will be marked with the 'Blue-Seal' insignia. If unsure about whether a place employs Certified Techs, just ask to see their credentials. ALL ASE Certified Technicians will be PROUD to show and display their certificate(s).
Thanks for the question, I hope this information was helpful to you.
