Answer
Hi Gwen,
I would suggest getting a fault code readout at an Autozone parts store, for free, or at an independent shop for maybe less than $40. It may be that you can get the codes with the ignition key:"on-off-on-off-on and leave on" doing that in 5 seconds or less elapsed time. Then see if the mileage reading changes in the odometer to show and 4-digit codes preceded by a P. In either case, let me know what codes you get and we can go from there.
