thank you. But now that I had my battery replaced the car is again having starting troubles. I took it to my mechanic and he cleaned the mass airflow sensor(?). I then left it sit for a day and when I went to start it again it took 15 minutes to get it running. The car is at the shop right now and he is replacing the Ignition Coil Pack because it was reading with too much resistence I believe. Any ideas on what might be next or if this should fix my problem? I read on MSN autos : Engine Problems: Occasional problems on this vehicle are failures of the Ignition Coil Pack Assembly, the Engine Control Module (ECM) and the Cam Sensor Magnet. Failure of the Ignition Coil Pack Assembly or the ECM may prevent the vehicle from starting.The cost to repair the Ignition Coil Pack Assembly is estimated at $125.00 for parts and $65.00 for labor.The cost to repair the ECM is estimated at $134.00 for parts and $84.50 for labor.The cost to repair the Cam Sensor Magnet is estimated at $40.00 for parts and $247.00 for labor.All prices are estimates based on $65 per flat rate hour and do not include diagnostic time or any applicable sales tax.

Is this good information or just BS?
Thanks for your help.
