May 10, 201510 yr Hello, My warning light goes on and off intermently. I am looking for solutions to resolve.
May 11, 201510 yr Which warning light, how many miles are on the car, what maintenance has been done on it
May 11, 201510 yr I am guessing your are referring to the check engine light. When lit, have the code read at an auto parts store. They will do that in their parking lot at no cost. The code will give you advise, as to what the problem is.
May 11, 201510 yr Even when not lit it should be storing that code. Pull the code, as Rooster said, and post it, that will give us the information to help you.
May 13, 201510 yr Author CHECK ENGINE CODES FROM AUTO ZONE: 1. P0301 2. P0302 3. P0303 4. P0304 5. P0420 6. P0172 7. P0106 8. P1137 I look forward to hearing from you. Gerry
May 13, 201510 yr disonnect the battery for ten minutes, then connect it have the codes re-read. Lets make sure these are active codes and not old codes. P0301 Cylinder 1 Misfire Detected P0302 Cylinder 2 Misfire Detected P0303 Cylinder 3 Misfire Detected P0304 Cylinder 4 Misfire Detected 420 is an O2 sensor When was the last time this car had a tuneup?
May 13, 201510 yr And we need to know mileage. When was the last time the timing belt was changed (never I am guessing).
May 13, 201510 yr I would start with the MAP sensor issue + a tuneup and then go from there. It's possible the map sensor is causing it to run rich which is setting off the cat codes, but it does look like you have a possible bad o2 sensor as well. And as fairtax said, how many miles and when was the last timing belt?

May 14, 201510 yr Reset all the codes and get another reading. What parts were replaced with the timing belt.
