Re: Engine dies out when running.

Focus on the Issues, not personal Attack's.

What elements do you need to keep a good burning fire?
LOL- & throwing money @ the problem don't count.

Engine deliverability Issues:

Air Intake,Fuel,Ignition timing,and exhaust!

Whats the most normal wear + tear + NEGLECTED ?
------------------------------------------

1) Air Intake- Bad Air filter,MAF sensor,IACT sensor,dirty throttle body,or O2 sensor.

2) Fuel- Bad fuel,Fuel filter,injector, or Fuel Pump.

3) Ignition timing - Bad plugs,wires,or COP's.

4) Exhaust - Plugged or bad catalytic converter.


A bad electrical signal from a electronic accelelator pedal to the electronic contol module on throttle body can trigger a Limp mode!

LOL - I have seen + heard technicans diagnose a bad Transmission and charged the customer for both tranny + throttle body.

WOW!
The shop already had his car for a few months.
This is a perfect case, were cash for clunkers $4500 + A new car would of been the better deal.
