You have to get the engine looked at.
Check your motor mounts.
I was told by my mechanic that the transmission hesitating after putting it in drive after reversing is a sign of the transmisison dying. ---------- Check transmission fluid. When the fluid is low there is not enough in the torque converter, so when you go to reverse or drive you have to rev the engine before it moves to compensate for less fluid in the torque converter.
Check the motor mounts
Check your alternator, it will cause the engine to miss if it is not putting out enough voltage under a load.
Snow got into the tail pipe. As soon as it melts the light will go away :)
virtual chase website offers a reverse number check, There price is the first 10 free and then 5.00 for 25 numbers. I have it here once and to be honest i did find out who called with just the easy method of putting there phone number in and found them with in 5 seconds.Great idea this reverse phone number check.
the synchros could be out in the transmission where it won't engage reverse. i believe that the check engine light may activate if there is a transmission issue. unfortunately, you will have to take it in for diagnosis.
Check the transmission fluid. You should check it while the car is warm.
No, that is a check engine light. You may need a sensor or have a sensor cleaned.
make sure when putting gas cap back on that you tighten the cap until it clicks or the check engine light will ccome on
Until the problem causing the check engine light to go on is fixed. It might not be the gas cap, or the one you replaced it with could be wrong.
There are pages and pages of things that can cause a check engine light. You need to have it checked with a scantool. Then the code can be diagnosed and repaired.
