    If you know someone with an OBD2 scanner, plug it in and see what code(s) come up.

    Without that info, it could be as simple as your gas cap isn't on all the way to something more catastrophic as in your engine is about to throw a rod (or something).

    Sorry, there really isn't much more help anyone can offer without knowing more details.

    Check blinker fluid followed by flux capacitor....then go to autozone and have them plug in an OBD II Scanner.
