Symptoms: check engine light is on, runs fine up to about 55 mph then starts to shake like hell. It feels like the engine is hesitating. I didn’t think I would make it home. All the fluids are fine, engine temp is good, nothing is leaking anywhere. Any ideas?

The infamous Overdrive not kicking in right away maybe

assuming you drive a Ford:D

Stop by AutoZone and get them to pull the code.

auto zone use to i think … until they ewre pulling codes and then it wasnt fixint the problem so autozone stopped that from what i believe.

also advance doesnt do it either

Auto Zone says they can pull the codes from “certain” OBDII systems. I didn’t know your make/model/year. So yes, they still do it.

I called Advance and they do not do that. :frowning: I need to find someone to take it to that can pull the code.
