Can you help thank you.

Answer
Hello, check to see if there are any diagnostic codes in the computer, you can do this by locating the check connector under the hood near the fuse box, open the cover and look for the terminals TE1 and E1, put a short jumper wire in to connect the two, turn the key on, the engine light will blink a two digit code, for example a code 14 would be one blink and the two, a short pause and then either repeat the code or show another one, they will repeat a few times so write them down.
