Hi I'm new to this forum but would really appreciate some help. I have a 2001 Ford Ka, which isn't the greatest of runners but anyway. Yesterday my engine light started flashing but today it is on constantly. When I start the car up she revs herself a bit and does it while I'm driving so it feels like chugging for a little bit. I have checked all her fluid levels and they are grand, I put 5W30 oil in her this morning and it has helped a bit but still chugging a bit and the light is on. I called the Ford dealership and they want £70 just to put it on the diagnostic machine. Does anyone have any ideas of what it could be?

Thanks

Jenny

you need to get the codes read from the ecu,dealerships are expensive try a local indipendent garage if you have one they should be cheaper.
