What owners wrote
Multiple check engine lights but no clear issue discovered. Now the car vibrates when I start driving it and at times I can floor the gas pedal and not go over 20 MPH. I am told it is the fuel pump that needs replacing though it did not show up as an issue from the check engine light diagnosis. Also, spark plugs were changed in sept 0'7 yet were changed again at the 60k check up two weeks ago.
