Being a girl, I must admit I'm not very good with the mechanics of a car. My 2000 Vehi-Cross has been idling very strangly and over the last week it keeps killing on me when I first start it up and then the check engine light comes on. I'm leary about taking it in knowing that the mechanics could tell me anything and I would have to believe them. It sounds like others have experienced this. Can you give me some advice on what to do?
