1st thing is you need to see what codes are displayed on the vehicle computer......if you don't have a scanner, AAMCO, autozone, etc will pull the codes for free, then you will at least have an initial concept of what the issue(s) could be.

I agree with beechkid. It is an ECC-IV instead of OBD2 connector as well. (Obd2 has made it so easy)
