Re: Check Engine Light on for the 3rd time

by posting more and how much time you spend on the site. autozone and oreilly scan it for free. or you can buy a code scanner for $40 on ebay and check yourself.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^
what he said.

Just go to either of those shops and ask to borrow the ODB. Plug it in and let the scan run & write down the codes. Then come back here as there is a thread dedicated to all of the codes. Then ask Gearbox what to do because well, he pretty much knows everything there is to know about these cars.

Sounds like you're new timing belt is off time. Very common problem when doing a timing belt change
