The vehicle owner reported that the check engine light was intermittently on, and the car sometimes surged and felt like it wanted to stall.
The technician found that the throttle body was dirty, which can affect engine performance and cause stalling.
The team performed a BG GDI/Fuel Injection Cleaning to service the throttle body. Additionally, they flushed and replaced the brake fluid, coolant, and transmission fluid to ensure overall vehicle performance.
After the services, the car ran smoothly without surging or stalling, and the check engine light was no longer an issue.
If your check engine light comes on and your car feels like it might stall, it could be due to a dirty throttle body. Regular cleaning every 15,000 miles can prevent this issue and keep your engine running efficiently.

The vehicle entered limp mode, with multiple error codes including P0171, P1174, P0053, P0302, P1682, and C0242-71 appearing in the system.
The technician identified issues with the oxygen sensor and other related components that were affecting the vehicle's performance.
The team at our Sebring shop removed and replaced the faulty oxygen sensor. They also accessed and installed necessary components such as the engine coolant temperature sensor pigtail and the fuel injector. A final road test was performed to ensure the repair was successful.
The vehicle was restored to normal operation, with no further limp mode issues reported.
If your vehicle enters limp mode, it's often due to sensor issues. Addressing oxygen sensor failures early can prevent further engine complications and maintain optimal performance.
Ms. Cece, Mr. Art, Mr. Jeffrey and the entire Johnny's Automotive family are wonderful people, experienced and exhibit the utmost pride in their work and professionalism. I took my wife's 2017 Lincoln MKC to the one place that I knew would take care of my wife's car. It's her main drive and she's going back and forth from Winter Haven to Tampa almost daily. Johnny's Automotive and team probably saved me thousands of dollar in an unnecessary (for now) turbo repair for what turned out to be a vacuum leak affecting my wife's cars power and check engine status. Full break service has left her car braking smooth. She's now happy and most importantly, reassured, that she'll be safe in her car. You can't put a $$$ on that kind of peace of mind, for both my wife and myself. Thanks Cece, Art, Jeff and team! We'll be back next lil change to do tune-up and leave my wife's car like it was when it rolled off the lot new!

They got me in the next day after my check engine light came on and just from the description knew what was going on (confirmed with the diagnostic). They got the parts within minutes and had me fixed up within an hour and a half. I’m so happy with the service I received, their kindness and the cleanliness of the facility.

Johnny's Automotive was great to work with. My check engine light came on, they got me in, diagnosed the problem and got my car fixed quickly. They were friendly, professional and reasonably priced.

If the light is steady and the car drives normally, yes, get it scheduled rather than parking it. If it's flashing, if the car is running rough, or if a temperature or oil light is on with it, that's the moment to stop driving it. When you're unsure, call the shop and describe what it's doing.
A scan reads the stored number, which is a useful first clue and takes a minute. A diagnosis figures out which of the possible causes behind that number is the real one, using live data, testing, and sometimes a road test. That gap is exactly why people replace parts that weren't broken.
Usually yes, after the car completes its own self checks over a few drive cycles. We clear the codes when the repair is done so it starts fresh, then verify the fault doesn't return. If it comes back, that tells us something too.
It will turn the light off and it also erases the freeze frame data we use to find the cause, so it makes diagnosis harder. The light also comes back once the fault repeats.
We can tell you what system that code covers and what it usually turns out to be, and we're happy to do that. We won't quote a repair on it, because the same code lands on different parts in different cars. The quote comes after we've tested and know which one you have.
