pretty funny... both the post and wjx's answer
go back to autozone or where ever. take a piece of paper and a pencil. ask them to read your CEL codes. when they do, ask them --- WHAT ARE THE CODE NUMBERS ?
write them down. google them and/or post them here.
it'll be something like P0123 and/or P0441 or whatever.
don't let autozone interpret the codes for you. they'll simply tell you that you need to buy "this" or "that", which is usually an expensive 02 sensor or purge solenoid or something thats usually not what you need.
