Hello
The engine
and automatic transmission in this vehicles drive train
are fully electronically controlled by a computer called the PCM and
TCM (Power Train Control Module, Transmission Control Module). When a
problem like this or other drive-ability related problems occurs the
computer stores a record of the problem (there are of course some
exceptions to this, like the fuel pump, engine coolant temperature
sensor and MAF sensor for instance) in the form of a fault code in
its memory, to read these fault codes you must have the systems
memory scanned with a special tool. Once the fault code(s) are read
you then must perform the appropriate diagnostic testing to find and
resolve the problem(s) DO NOT REPLACE ANY PARTS UNTIL
A TRAINED TECHNICAIN HAS DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM TO AVOID SPENDING YOUR
HARD EARNED MONEY ON PARTS THAT MAY NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM

Hi no_signal_sw. thanks for the quick response. unfortunately the picture you posted does not show up here. I was also told that I should probably replace the fuel pump relay as well as this relay may be faulty as well. Are both these relays the exact same? When I do a search for the fuel pump relay at online auto parts stores, replacements do come up. however nothing comes up for the ASD relay. I figure for 12 bucks a piece its probably a good place to start to get this problem fixed. Any ideas? Thanks!
