    name just about anything under the hood that has a wire connected to it!!! To make an even close diagnosis, you need to have a code check done!!

You can do one of three things.1. buy a scan tool 2. go to a dealer and pay to have the codes read and diagnosed 3. go to your local parts chain to have it read for free. (call first to verify). The code will tell you what system is malfunctioning and what the malfunction is. The parts store option is my choice, because you can also get the part to fix it if needed and you are not out the $ for diagnostics, nor did you need an appt to get it in.

P0740 T Converter Clutch Circuit Malfunction

The transmission fluid could be in need of a change, certain parts in the transmission depend upon clean fluid to move properly, this could cause the pressure sensor to fail and engage the torque converter to lock up at the right time. Timing is counted with the computer and it will flash lights when there is a problem.

Malfunctioning Indicator Light still on....

Check the injector for proper voltage. Check the cam sensor,,,,,DO NOT remove it unless you index it to the block. generally, a malfunction of the sensor will affect all cylinders, PS: you did check to make sure there is adequate spark at #1 plug, right?
