Welcome to the site!

The first place to start is always to check for codes. Without that, it's all just guessing. Is your Check Engine Light coming on? Even if it's not, there can be codes stored that should give us more info to work with. Some auto parts stores, such as Autozone, will scan your codes for free in the hopes that you'll buy parts from them. Alternatively, you can buy an OBD-II code reader for about 40 bucks for a simple version and around 70-90 bucks for one with a few more features, then you can scan the codes yourself, both now and in the future.

If you can get some codes, let us know what they are and we can go from there...

Political Correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.
