  1. My check engine light and trac off light came on simultaneously today. At the same time, the engine was stalling when i attempted to go up hills. I was pressing the gas; however, the car was not accelerating at the indicator speedometer reading. Also, the tachometer was "irractic" and never measured zero when the car was completely idle (at a traffic light). Two weeks ago, I took the car to Good Year (my trusted mechanics) to get it "fixed". The mechanics said that they could not fix the traction control system but they could fix the check engine problem. After a "thorough" diagnostic check, the mechanic came back and told me that sensors needed to be replaced. Total repairs amounted to $1200. They told me to drive for 100 miles to reset the computer, or something like that. Anyway, the lights were off. But today, the lights came back on. Two days ago, the car was stalling as if it didn't want to accelerate; but after a few miles, it was "normal". It was worse today. I feel like it is the fuel injection; but i was wondering why the check engine light came on and the tachometer never measured zero when i made a complete stop for a few "minutes". I am taking the car back to the shop tomorrow (March 15), but I was wondering what info i could get from this group. Thanks so very much
