Fill in at least enough of your profile to tell us what year the car is, manual or Auto trans, how many miles on it, whether ir has any mods, etc.

Without some clues of what you have any answer is purely a stab in the dark.......

Check the codes from the DIC. It could be several things but the codes will start you in the right direction
