Does you PGM-FI warning light (or check engine light) on your dash turn on?

Your car has an ECU under the driver's seat where you can check codes. The ECU will have a window where you can see a light flashing codes. You just have to turn the key to the II position and count the number of flashes to read the code(s). Try reading the codes and post back on here.

Also, was any work done on the car before you noticed this issue?
