Engine Keeps Cutting Off, pissed off & broke Options

[Jen]

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?

They are now saying it's the PCM? What do ya'll think?

They're doing it for free, because 3 mechanics have given up on my car already.

You need to read a little better as well.
I'm not talking about the regular jumping TE1 and E1.
This is a DIFFERENT diagnostic mode. Go back and carefully read what I said.
I can't promise that out of all the techs that looked at your car none of them tried what I'm telling you, but I do know it's not a commonly know procedure.
Even at a dealership.

I know exactly what you said, and understand it. What I was attempting to say was, the engine codes never told me exactly the problem. They told me 8 different things, 8 different times. So, it was never right.
