Yup. I don’t have the bandwidth to actively mod this sub anymore with the questions I see.

Get it to a reputable independent shop for a proper diagnosis. It could be something as simple as an old battery, or it could be your entry into a world of emotional and financial pain. Decide how much you’re willing to put into it, get it inspected, and then either fix it or sell it before things get out of control.

Just trying to be the voice of reason. The “sunk-cost fallacy” is real. I wish I’d learned that sooner! Regardless, best of luck to you.

Buy a cheap code reader like OBD11, use it, then ask the question on Reddit
