Get the car scanned & see if there are any retained codes. Or better yet, get an ODB1 scnner and plug it in and drive around till the light comes on, and then see what the computer is complaining about. Without knowing the trouble code, you can waste a lot of money and time changing out things that are perfectly OK.
