Hi Tony,
Sorry for the delay but I just found your question in the 'pool' where it had been referred by Kevin. Have you tried for fault code readout using the ignition key:"on-off-on-off-on and leave on" doing that in 5 seconds or less elapsed time? Then watch the odometer window to see if the mileage reading changes to show any 4-digit numbers preceded by a P. Let me know. If nothing changes in the odometer then get a free code readout at a nationwide parts store such as Autozone.
