Get the code scanned and come back here with the code. That would be first priority.

what RooK said, without it there is no way of knowing. could be lots of things. Along with fixing whatever code it throws I would give it a good tune up, change your fluids, new spark plugs, new air and fuel filters.

just get some 3M double sided tape for the door molding. If you dont have the piece anymore, get it from ed morad (his contact info is in the FAQ thread).

and x3 with what the other guys said, too many parameters for us to have any idea what the code it is throwing is.

Welcome to the club!
