I have a miss or also called a flatline when i hit about 2200 rpm. I read that if you turn your key to the on position and press the accelerator five times the car will run a diagnostic check but I can't get that to work and I thought that would help me. I'm assuming the miss is from an old 02 sensor but I need help on both of these problems.
