Answer
Jim P. If the computer picked up a problem and threw those codes then you need to replace those sensors. Because the car might run good one day but the next those sensors will cause problems so the car runs like crap again. The computer controls everything in that car, everything even how the transmission shifts. So you need to check to see what those codes are and then fix whatever that was. And then I believe that will fix your problem. If you got an a meter for checking the computer see if you can get a read out to what is going on and if not then AutoZone will code the car for free. Another thing to check would be for vaccum leaks, sometimes they will cause you the problems are you having. God bless: Linda
