Hello and welcome to JustAnswer, my name is \*\*\*\*\* \*\*\*\*\* I have over 22 years of experience in this field. I'm so sorry for your inconvenience and hopefully, I can help. You need to have your vehicle scanned to see what trouble codes are stored in its memory. If you have an AutoZone near you they scan vehicles for free.
