Re: 99 park avenue jerking/bogging fuel cutting out???

We cleaned the mass air sensor. Replaced the throttle body position sensor. check fuel rail for pressure. replaced air filter, and fuel filter. put car on scanner and unplugged battery to clear codes..2 or 3 time...It really seemed like a fuel or idle problem! I do remember the dummy light about the check tire pressure came on and as many times as we did it stay on after we put the tires on the back. By putting the new tires on the front it made it run like a charm and light on dash reads tire pressure normal. During looking for the problem, I was told a guy had a newer car that tells you the oil life and when the oil change was due...the car did not start until it was resolved. I guess I've decided my cars issue had to be due to the error code with the tires, because it was instantly fixed. Darn computer brains and safety features I suppose. Definately run the scanner on it because, the tbp sensor is about 40 bucks and the scan if free...I'm sure it didnt hurt to do all the new parts on the car but didnt fix the real issue! Hope that helps. Also the guys at auto zone were willing to look up the codes for us.
