    I am looking for a mechanic who knows how to work on Generation I cars. I am receiving the orange triangle with check engine light and display shows a red car.

    I have cleaned the throttle plate as suggested earlier and that worked out for a little bit. Now even with a clean throttle plate, I continue to get the same triangle.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Does the car run? Can you get to an Autozone-Pep Boys-Carquest-O'Reilley and ask them to read the codes for you?

    The code that I get is P3120. But I can't figure out if it's the Map Sensor or the throttle body
