Our check Engine light comes on all the time. Usually when you speed up.
All of a sudden the check engine light will come on and the car bogs right
down. I mean it doesn't do anything. Usually all you have to do is pull
over and shut off and restart the car and it works fine. However we have
also experienced a problem after a heavy rain fall sometimes just a little
moisture in the air. Our car bogs down so bad. No matter what you do it
doesn't fix the problem. Does anyone know what to do or have had this
problem. what i mean by bog down also is that it doesn't go over 50 Km
sometimes alot less. If anyone has any ideas what the problem is our what
we need to do to fix it please let me know.

Only way to know for sure is to get ahold of a code scanner - an inexpensive
OBDII scanner can be purchased for under $50. See

Anything else is simply guessing.
