Q: Unresolved leakage problems
I've taken my car in for regular maintenance on a constant basis. I've had repair, after repair, after repair. My mechanic has replaced the gasket after a manifold leak, spark plugs, crankshaft, injector, computer sensors, etc. Now the P0302 code is showing and I have very low oil pressure. What should I do?

Have the oil pressure tested to see if it is low, or the oil sensor is reading wrong. Also have the engine compression tested to see if the cylinder number 2 has a problem or not.
The P0302 code is for a misfire in cylinder number 2. Once these tests are done, then the diagnosis can be done to fix the problems.

How do I play and pause a CD?
When a CD is playing, you can pause it by pressing the play/pause button on the infotainment system. Press this button a second time to resume playing.
Car stalling, hesistating, and jerking.
This sounds like a fuel pump issue of low fuel pressure conditions or the fuel filter is clogged causing low flow. I recommend you have the system checked by a qualified mechanic. (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/car-is-stalling-inspection)
