I've had a problem with my car for the past month, and nothing we have had done seems to work.
The problem: - Very low, and rough idle. - Stalling. - The engine cuts out no matter if I am stopped at a redlight, or if I am accelerating. It can be fine one day, but terrible the next. If it cuts off, I can wait a few minutes and it comes back on. If I let it sit for 30+ minutes, it will work for the rest of the day and possibly the next. When it cuts off it's very random, and it forces me to not go to work, or I am late to work. I'm about to lose my job. Things I have had done: - I've had the injectors cleaned or something. - New fuel pump. - Replaced PVC Valve. - Replaced IAC Valve. Things it's not: - The battery, or connections. - The alternator, or connections. Now they're telling me the distributer. Any other ideas? Discuss. I totally put this in the wrong section, could one of the mods please move it? This post has been edited by Jen: Apr 28, 2007 - 4:31 PM -------------------- |

Hey, hopefully i'm not to late, if your vehicle is stalling roughly 30mins-60mins after running, and stalls after it's been warm for a while and then wait till it cools and starts up again, then it's most likely your PRIMARY COIL it's called, and the codes you just got about the distributor is related to that. but the primary coil shouldn't be expensive?, at most it should b like 50-80 dollars. and i will garuntee you that's the problem. and yes, most mechanics are dumb.......
