Answer
Hi Alan,
The best thing to do is a get a readout of engine fault codes: turn the ignition key:"on-off-on-off-on and leave on" doing that in 5 seconds or less elapsed time. Then watch the check engine light to see it begin to flash, pause, flash, etc. Count the number of flashes before each pause. Then repeat to assure an accurate set of counts. Let me know the counts in order of appearance and we'll go from there. Also, tell me is this a convertible or a coupe, and which engine you have. Don't throw any more parts at the problem until you get the fault codes. It is also possible to get codes via a plug-in code reader for free at an Autozone parts store.
