Q: Possible fuel injection problem
I think there is a problem with the PNP sensor. There is a yellow flashing arrow, and the Check Engine light is on. My car only wants to move when in third gear. I tried going through all the gears about 10 times and pull the OBDII codes, but I only get 2-2-2, which is something to do with the fuel injection.
