The computer should be throughing up codes if it has running issues. The check engine light should be on, or coming on, and off?

Start with the basics and tune it up. Liquid medic won't fix it. You can retreive diagnostic trouble codes with a paper clip jumping the a&b terminals in the data link connector under the dash. It will flash the check engine light in a morse code. example flash pause flash flash of the check engine light is code 12. Report
