Check Engine Light On problem #1

While traveling on the expressway a check traction system warning appeared along with reduced engine power. After approx. 10 miles the engine shut down and I was forced to pull off to the side of the road. I shut the engine off and attempted to restart and the starter would not engage. After waiting approx. 3 minutes I was able to start the car and warning system was gone however the check engine light remained. The engine shut down again after I traveled another 20 miles at which point I repeated the steps outlined above and was able to get the vehicle home.

Engine Exhaust System problem #2

Exhaust bolts broken this is a common problem causes exhaust to leak and engine warning light to come on.

Engine And Engine Cooling problem #3

Both cylinder heads are cracked. Compression was affected for poor performance.
