    Default VS V6 not holding revs

    revs seem a bit low on neutral. just under 1 when it used to be over. engine sounds like it skips a bit too.
    and also it did stall when i was driving and it is an automatic trans.
    what could be the problem?

    Try checking for any logged error codes in the ECU. Heres a link to a page that shows you how to do this simple test, which will show if anything is wrong or faulty with the engine management systems..

    Recheck the codes - read the instructions again - if the engine/trans light is coming on it will leave a error code.

    Did you let it go through for a bit because the test will show up a code 12 three times, and will then then flash up any logged error codes , thats if any codes are logged of course ,otherwise it will just continually flash up code 12. Also, if the battery has been disconnected,any logged codes will be deleted. This is how you remove any logged codes, by disconnecting the negative battery terminal for a minute or two.
