Oxygen sensor error code. Replaced sensor. The CEL and code came back after about 75 miles. Our mechanic said that the next step would be to check out a possible catalytic converter issue or even a possible computer issue. |

TCM codes read, faulty input speed sensor which has to be replaced. Engine briefly stalls when i step on accelerator, Check Engine light comes on.

Replaced fuel injectors - solved a bad cold hesitation. Replaced original fuel filter. Then replaced pump & filter assembly due to faulty filter causing loss of residual system pressure and difficulty starting. |
