im over in deer park (exit 51) i own my lift company
the company is brand new but i never mind helping someone out (advice is always free lol)

justinm, no offense taken. i could use the help, i am off exit 39 lie. email at [email address removed] if you would thanks mi_carATverizonDOTnet

the controller on the side is the ECM (engine control module)
you can bring stored codes up on the check engine light but this may be too advanced for you based on your post (no offense)

like edward said pay a guy who knows the system and has the info

btw where in NY are you? im on long island
if you need help and youre close by i may be your man
get back

this is one that you might want training for, (or pay someone who is both properly trained and has the laptop program and cables, and knows how to read it) since your problem may be any of the (important to prevent damage) sensors that connect to the ECM, and the ECM is shutting down the motor to prevent further damage, rather than run on "defaults" (the Accel pot being stuck wide open or the throttle body sending a bad signal are a couple that come to mind)
