What is it doing or not doing? Is the amber engine management light on?  You could narrow down the problem by checking for fault codes with a scanner with the JOBD protocol, the Ancel JP 700 is a good scanner

Yes that light is on along with the VSO light next to it,

The EML usually comes on along with other fault lights. The VSC or Vehicle Stability Control coordinates the ABS, TRC and EFI to prevent the wheels from slipping or the vehicle skidding on slippery surfaces. First check your tyre pressures are equal as they can have an effect on the VSC, invest in an Ancel scanner so you can check any fault codes to narrow down the problem, makes life easier and cheaper if you can tell a garage what the most likely problem is.
