Hey there,

Bought my rodeo 1 month ago used with 59,000 miles and have already had two problems with it. the first problem was hard shifting and the dealers warranty covered half of the cost to replace asm switch.....okay so that problem fixed but know a new problem has begun. Since i have had it, you have to give the car gas when starting and sometimes i will die the first time you start it but always starts on the second or third time. But otherwise ran perfect. Two days ago, while on the freeway, the car died when i was slowing down( when i let off the gas). The check engine light came on and for the rest of the way home the car ran but died whenever you let off the gas. So i let it sit overnight and the next day it wouldnt even idle at all. Every time the car would turn over but instead of idleing it would die instantly. Got it towed to a mechanic and he told me today that i was the control sensor or idle control(something to do with the idle). He reset it and the check engine light went off and he says the car runs fine. But he also said if the light comes on again then it would be that idle sensor/control. What part is he talking about? Will a reset fix a problem like that? Any advice you have would be very helpful. He quoted me 700 to replace that part(he said the exact name but i dont remember but i know it had the word control in it and that it has to do with the control the idle.
