First of all did they tell what codes are triggering the engine lamp? there are over 50 possible codes with this engine & ODB2. If one of the codes is P0 300 OR P0 30(?) then this is a misfire. Lack of fuel pressure(fuel pump or filter), fuel injection duration(air mass sensor), ignition system(already tried that) or engine wiring harness problem.
