2008 Avenger 4cyl P0017
Hello, I've been battling a issue on a family car. Shes driving a 08 dodge avenger 4cyl. Has had it for a couple years. Its well taken care of and oil changes all exactly on time. I did the last one myself so I know forsure the oil is good and the right viscosity. I have changed the cam and crank sensor. The engine light keeps coming back on and I am told when getting on the high way it sounds like its struggling. What do you guys think? The car is clean looking it doesn't look like anything was messed with under the hood.
Thanks for your time,
Kevin
