Check engine light

what engine is there.? Is this a USA car?
NO VIN told. engine codes, and transmission.s
No miles on the car or engine, 250,000??
????????????????????????
1.8 L World I4 (gasoline)
2.0 L World I4 (gasoline)
2.0 L VW I4 (TURBO diesel)
2.4 L World I4 (gasoline)
2.4 L World I4 (TURBO gasoline)
cranks and starts all the time.
stalls how fast. 1 to 10 seconds if yes, is IMMO lamp failing?
does engine fail
in PARK too is the CVT transmission failing in DRIVE.? of 4 transmissions used. if only jerks in drive , CVT is sick.

check all fuses yet.
scan the PCM for SURE when jerking (engine Misfiring)?

If the engine is failing (50 causes)
does it have 16 year old
spark plugs?>
16 year old COP boots, all nasty and carbon tracked bad.
oil lamp , there are 2, one is pressure loss and 2nd is oil nag timer
we cant see the icon of the lamp to know.
the real oil lamp comes on at any stall doing the cluster self test
if the engine RPM falls below 800 rpm do to gross misfiring
the real oil lamp sure can and will come on.
real mans not silly OIL NAG, << we ignore that.

can the stall be voided with a fast right foot>.?
parked or in drive?
safe if engine misfires, (heard or felt) in PARK.
so we can cut the job in 1/2 (diagnosis)

is this request for guessing>?

• or testing, and if yes test willing to buy tools to find it?
• the conundrum here infinite is TEST OR GUE$$?
• or get the car serviced in a shop that has the tools.

your call.

replace failed engine mounts

If you have vibration, take the car and have it inspected. Suspension and drive train. If thee outr side parts look good, Have them drain the transmission and check for metal . Only thing I think of for this would be CV axles (there would vibration all the time) or internal transmission damage.

1. Replace the fuel filter; and

2. Check the operation of the electric fuel pump.

Then retest to see if the problem recurs.

the jerking is most likely ur transmission and your check engine line is probably a bunch of different sensors

Check the 'U' joints in the drive line. Check the engine/transmission mounts for damage or looseness. The real enigma is trying to determine if this is an engine or a chassis problem. If the check engine light is on, doing a scan of the computer should show engine problems. If no light, concentrate on anything in the chassis for periodic binding. Good luck!

PCM going bad. real common

try removing battery and cleaning all the ground under the battery tray and check main ground wire from battery to engine

tps sensor on throttle body you have a check engine light coming on light come on its start to go bad check it out hope it help pierre p.s the tps sensor can not be change you need to change the throttle sorry

You may have a failing Mass Air Flow sensor, a quick test is to unplug the connector and drive the truck, if it runs better well their you go, the way this works is that the engine processor has failure mode strategy build in, so it substitutes a good signal for the missing one. After that just clear the codes and replace the sensor. The other issue may be fuel pressure, check the pressure and make sure it is ok under a load, a new fuel filter would poss. cure the issue also.
