Today’s modern vehicles are made up of anywhere from one to seven computers that assist with the car’s day to day functions. An engine control unit (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/how-your-ecu-uses-sensor-data) (ECU), is a computer that similar to that of a laptop or smartphone...

There are a lot of reasons a computer controlled car won't stay running unless you have your foot on the gas. Anything from low oil pressure to a weak fuel pump could be the cause. Your particular vehicle, however, is...

What you are describing sounds like a dirty or faulty mass air flow sensor. The mass air flow sensor (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/mass-airflow-sensor-replacement) monitors air intake as it is mixed with fuel prior to being injected into the motor. This sensor relays vital...

Some of the common causes of Diagnostic Trouble Code P0340 (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/p0340-obd-ii-trouble-code-camshaft-position-sensor-circuit-malfunction-by-jamahl-walker) include camshaft position sensor circuit wiring that is broken, shorted, or corroded; a camshaft position sensor circuit connector that is broken, shorted, or corroded; a faulty camshaft position sensor;...
