it started with the flex pipe which took me three times to get fixed twice with a shade tree mechanic and then once it a legitimate shop obviously should have started there then it was a cooling system replace the radiator radiator cap water pump thermostat and then right after that it was a battery replace the battery now I have a check engine light on the code is for the camshaft position sensor now my service traction abs break and TC light are all on which d check engine light forgot to mention I also change the thermostat didn't get the AC Delco so just had to replace that after about 2 weeks somebody please help me I'm out of money I paid $1,000 for this thing from my grandma at less than a hundred thousand miles on it she literally drove it to Bunco and that was it I change the oil regularly all that I don't know how much longer I can afford this car I love it but it doesn't love me please speak in layman terms I'm not a mechanic for a girl I know a little bit enough I thought but the HR has weird things with it like the service traction light coming on and from what I read most times it's the VVT solenoid which with my limited knowledge has nothing to do with the traction

First get the codes read, a local parts palace can do that, just post the code itself, we’ll take it from there.

No need to shout. Please type coherent sentences.

How is it the car's fault that your mechanic is a clown?

Yes, bad VVT valves can cause warnings from the traction control system. Reason being: the computer turns them off when the car can't perform well enough to need them. Also, to give a stern warning to the driver that ignores the CEL.

Sorry. I can't read jibberish. Would like to help if you can make it readable.

It's not that the car doesn't love you. It's that you need an honest AND competent mechanic.

Yes, your post is very difficult to read and understand. Punctuation, complete sentences, paragraphs. The things that you don't automatically get when using voice-to-text.

Come back with the actual codes, they'll be a letter followed by 4 numerical digits. Then we'll help get you back on track.
