A live optional phone call will be automatically offered by JustAnswer, But I can not do calls at the moment we can carry on with text? It may take a moment for me to get back to you as I may have to look up information about your concern, So I really appreciate your patience. Do you have your VIN number handy for me so I can look up your vehicle? If no Vin? then all I need is Make, model, and [engine](/topics-engine-ford/) size. May I ask who I have the pleasure of chatting with? Regards Greg. Is the check engine light ON when the engine is running? Greg
