Hi! This is Anthony, a mechanic here on Just Answer. Sorry to see you're having trouble with your Mountaineer. With whom do I have the pleasure of chatting with today?

Hello my name is angel
Automotive Expert
Hi Angel! Have you had the vehicle scanned for a code or codes to see why the service engine soon light is on?

No i usually just no where the problem is coming fromI was going to do that this morning
Automotive Expert
Ok, I would definitely have it scanned for codes. If you don't have a scanner, your local Advanced Auto or Autozone can scan it for free. Without codes, it's really hard to say. Seems like you already took care of the typical things but it is still happening.

It stoped then i drove from tucson to cali and it started again last noght it never stalled it just feels like it want s toIs it possible for the spark plugs to make it do that
Automotive Expert
It is possible but it could also be a bad sensor, etc.

What sensor are u thinking
Automotive Expert
A crank sensor, cam sensor, fuel pressure sensor, etc. It could be a number of different sensors. The code will tell you exactly what the issue is.

Ok im bout to head to auto zone now am i able to text back with the code
Automotive Expert
Yes, just respond here like you've been doing.

Ok thank you
Automotive Expert
