Please don't post mechanical problems in Performance and Brainstorming. This section is for adding or enhancing performance/power.

I'll move your topic for you.

First of all, is this with the key on, or the car running?
Secondly, is it check gauges or check engine/service engine soon?

If it's check gauges, are any of the gauges reading abnormally?
If it's check engine/service engine soon, have you pulled codes using the procedure in Techinfo?


Make your posts much clearer in the future. You'll get quicker responses and better help.
