Check engine light had been on for a long time. Engine needed serious cleaning, new spark plugs, other related part adjustments. Won't list all here. Only did because van running sluggishly and know the repairs guys. Over many years they have been honest with diagnoses and ok with things that didn't have to be done. Can't afford a newer old van, and everything else checked out ok on this. So hope this thorough cleaning and auxillary parts replacement will keep in running for years more.
