Description of the problem | Brake light come on frequently. Door ajar light stays on occasionally causing interior lights to remain on even when all doors are shut. Dash light quit working. Took to certified mechanic and found the problem was in the ashtray light, disconnected ashtray light and dash lights started working again. Engine light staying on. Took to certified mechanic, was told that vacuum hose was off the egr valve. Mechanic put vacuum hose back on. Problem recurred 3 days later but this time not vacuum hose. Believe the problem to be egr valve itself. Engine surges/misses constantly. Did a tune up, replacing plugs wires, etc.. Problem still exists especially after vehicle is run for a while. Often shifts hard during acceleration. Have done transmission service, problem still exists. Do not take off hard from stops. *jb |
